Welcome to Battle To Succeed

What is Battle to Succeed?

Battle to Succeed is St Mary’s Hospice’s free annual challenge for Key Stage 3 students. From January to April, groups of students are matched with a local business mentor and use their £30 pledge to get their business ideas in to action, to make as much profit as they can.

The goal is to make a difference to their local community by fundraising for St Mary’s Hospice, with a structured and fun, rewarding learning experience. With special thanks to Ørsted for sponsoring and supporting the Battle to Succeed presentation evening at the end of the challenge.
