A few weeks back the children from Cromwell & Bordesley Village Primary Schools (part of the Cromwell Academy Trust) visited free@last to take part in an entrepreneurial challenge.

Challenged with a Fun Cycle innovation to encourage other young people to recycle in Birmingham by making it fun.

The challenge was a great success and made even better by the support of local businessmen and women.
