Lime looking to grow in Warwickshire

Lime works predominantly across the West Midlands, Thames Valley and London but, with its new base at the University of Warwick, would love to grow its impact on the young people of Warwickshire.

Mark Ashfield’s message to the schools and businesses of the county is simple: “Let’s get working together.”

“I would love to do more in Warwickshire,” he said. “We are really keen to engage with Warwickshire businesses to support schools so that we can all work together with young people to develop the skills for the future. It is to everybody’s benefit because the skills that employers want are largely the same ones that keep young people safe.

“We do a lot of work in cities, but so many of the issues facing young people in 2024 emanate from online behaviour, so all young people are vulnerable whether they are in inner cities or rural communities. In the digital age, there are skills that we are losing, skills that children previously acquired naturally, so we have to find a way to continue to help them develop these skills. That means working with every school if we can.

“I am really interested in talking to other businesses which share the ethos of civic pride and helping the community. There are probably thousands of businesses out there that want to do more good but don’t know how. This is one way they could really help the young people in their community.”
