The money for life challenge is a government funded project which allows college students to receive a grant if their project idea is approved , to follow their ideas through. The first amount of payment is £200 to allow their project to happen and once they have finished they get another £300 to spend for the college (for example , to purchase equipment).
It's an opportunity that occurs once a year for students. Last year when I was in my first year at college I took the challenge and now i'm in my second year I have taken it again. This year Hannah, Ellie , Chloe , Sharrah & jennii and myself all decided we wanted to do it and in our first meeting we decided that we would propose our idea to 'Money for life' in hoping of acceptance. Our idea was to buy a shed with the £200 and to use it as a gallery space up in college where we can showcase our photography and once we leave college it will remain their for other students.
we were excepted by the programme and given the grant. We bought a shed for £160 and with the left over money we are hoping to give some to a student at college who was willing to make a curtain for the shed and also the rest will be for lighting and paint.
