Young people in Bradford are encouraged to start a business by David Ward MP 
David Ward has pledged his support for a landmark scheme where school students will be given a tenner to start a business.
Participants in the Tenner Tycoon scheme will be challenged to make as much profit and social good as they can in a month with their tenner. Previous winners have made their money in diverse ways such as fashion shows, cookery books and concerts.
The national scheme is spearheaded by Dragon's Den star Peter Jones and the money loaned by charity Enterprise UK.
Commenting, David Ward said:
"I fully support initiatives like Tenner Tycoon that aim to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
"Tenner Tycoon is an innovative scheme that gives young people in Bradford the chance to showcase their skills and ingenuity whilst gaining practical business experience.
I know there are many young people in our city with huge potential to succeed in business. This is a fantastic opportunity for them to gain valuable insight."
