What a fantastic morning working with #ESOL learners at Coleg Gwent #NewportCampus playing our new #enterprise game shared by Purple Shoots
Generated lots of brilliant discussions around the benefits & pitfalls facing #businessstartups across all of the teams! 🌱

Purple Shoots are life savers - life 'enablers' - helping those trapped in dependency, to be economically active and 'live' again. They worked miracles for me, and my daughter has a happy mother instead of a memory of one because of Karen and Mike.

American banks lent an extra $100 billion to disadvantaged communities due to legislation. Just think what the UK could do with similar legislation via a Fair Banking Act?
