Form teacher Graham Pemberton said 16 pupils in his class had split into groups with responsibility for different parts of the operation. He said: " The publicity crew have been dressing up in big cans and going round to classes reminding people to bring their cans in. " The children have been ever so enthusiastic. Originally they were just going to bring in their own used cans but they decided to go out and collect from the streets. " It went down very well with some people living round here." The youngsters have collected almost 1, 000 cans in three weeks.

These 11 and 12-year-olds have come together to transform used drinks cans into cash while also making a positive impact on the environment. As part of a mini enterprise scheme, these enthusiastic pupils are not only learning about business but also raising funds for charity. Divided into different groups, they take responsibility for various aspects of their operation. The publicity crew even dresses up in giant cans to remind others to bring in their own empty containers. What started as an initiative to collect their own used cans quickly expanded when the children decided to venture out onto the streets and gather more discarded items. Their dedication has been met with great enthusiasm by local residents who appreciate their efforts. In just three weeks, these youngsters have managed to collect nearly 1,000 cans! This remarkable achievement showcases their commitment towards recycling and creating a cleaner environment.
