Winner of the Best Overall Social Enterprise Award 2025
Team Bags & Books

Team Bags & Books stood out for their comprehensive response to textile waste.They collected hundreds of kilograms of used clothing and discarded banners, transforming them into reusable bags and pouches. The project also provided income opportunities for stay-at-home mothers who were engaged to sew the items, strengthening community connections while promoting environmental responsibility. They were supported by their teacher, who allowed them to make their own decisions for a profitable business model to support their cause. By addressing waste in a practical way, the team not only reduced environmental impact but also fostered empathy and a strong sense of shared responsibility among everyone involved.

Runner-up for the Best Overall Social Enterprise Award 2025
Team M.E.I. Enterprise

Team M.E.I. Enterprise gained recognition from the judges for their thoughtful response to a challenge within their school community. They noticed that some classmates wore worn or unclean uniforms because they could not afford replacements. In response, the team set up an unmanned “honesty kiosk” that sold snacks and drinks, relying on students to pay voluntarily and monitoring sales daily. The profits were used to purchase new uniforms, which were distributed discreetly to avoid singling anyone out. At the National Dragons’ Den, they presented their social enterprise and its financial sustainability model, demonstrating how empathy and responsible money management can lead to meaningful and respectful support for others.
