Stonyhurst College’s Social Enterprise company, SCRAP, (which stands for Stonyhurst Re-using and Producing) were delighted to win their first award from the East Lancashire Area Board this week.  The company, developed and run by Higher Line students, entered the Area Board Dragons' Den competition, which involved competing with other schools to win £150 by writing and presenting a business plan in front of 3 local business people.  The team were thrilled to win the Best Business Plan award; they were particularly commended for how well they had researched and forecasted their financial projections.  The judges were also impressed with their ideas; of producing coasters and doorsigns using off-cuts of logs from the Stonyhurst estate.  The pupils will be using the profits gained to replant some of the millions of elm trees lost throughout the UK.This is part of a wider scheme, run by the Conservation Foundation, under the name of the Great British Elm Experiment.
