Young entrepreneurs will head to Clifford Chance on Thursday for the finals of a competition.

Young Enterprise London is running the programme, which encourages groups of students from a range of different backgrounds to run a real company.

With support of teachers and business mentors the children design and market products before selling them in markets.

Head of corporate relations at YE London Joanne Kelly said: "This group of kids, a lot of whom are in residential schools rather than mainstream schools, get great business experience from this.

"It's a completely different education for them. It challenges them to design a product or service and market it. It's about social inclusion."

Joanne said it was also a good opportunity for the Canary Wharf business community to see how they can help the charity.

She is inviting them to attend the award ceremony at Clifford Chance's offices on Upper Bank Street.
