Young People Empowered for Success
Posted on:
The air buzzed with excitement on Thursday, April 24th, 2025. It wasn’t just any ordinary day; it was the day the Genuine Futures Big Pop Up Car Cleaning event took place. A key part of the Boss Your Future programme, in partnership with Entrepreneurs Unlocked & Salford City Council, this event was more than just washing cars – it was about empowering young entrepreneurs.
Under a clear Manchester sky, the event transformed a simple car park into a hive of activity, brimming with entrepreneurial spirit and community engagement. Young people, armed with sponges, buckets, and a whole lot of ambition, set about cleaning cars and building futures. The Boss Your Future programme aims to instil a sense of self-belief and proactive action in its participants, and this event was a testament to its success.
Voices of Success
The real magic of the event lay in the stories of the young entrepreneurs themselves. Let’s hear what they had to say:
Alex: “It’s quite good, we are getting people. It’s mental… all that came from a car boot, and we just walked in there, and it’s actually working!
You can start a business from anywhere!’
Cayden: “It’s been good I have been cleaning cars, I feel I have fully grasped it. I know how to clean a car now I thought it was quite difficult but it’s quite straightforward so the basics helping it increase the experience you get with it you get better. If you approach people you can easily make money off it.”
Jason: “It’s been fun learning new experiences”
Jaxon: “This is more than just cleaning cars; it’s about building a future for ourselves and for our community. I’m excited to see what the future holds.”
These voices echo the core message of the Boss Your Future programme: believe in yourself and take action. The Big Pop Up Car Cleaning event wasn’t just about sparkling cars; it was about igniting the entrepreneurial spark within these young individuals and fostering a sense of community and shared success.
The success of the 2025 Genuine Futures Big Pop Up Car Cleaning event underscores the power of community partnerships and youth empowerment. It demonstrates what can be achieved when young people are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and believe in their potential.
Let’s continue to celebrate the ‘See It. Believe It. Achieve It.’ spirit!
