Shaped By Solent winning product to go on sale next month

The Shaped by Solent programme, brings together Solent Academies Trust, Shaping Portsmouth, The Mary Rose Museum, and a range of high-profile businesses to mentor and provide experience in business and public speaking to classes of Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) students.

Their task is to brainstorm, create, and present products that the students then sold at the Shaping Portsmouth Conference in January, with profits from funds raised going to the schools to benefit their students and facilities. This year the winning product is also being sold at the Mary Rose Museum. Sales of all the products at the Shaping Portsmouth Conference have raised £900 for Solent Academy Trust so far.

Working closely with their mentor, Joe Tafferelli, the Wildings Group’s dedication and teamwork have truly paid off, and their creation will serve as a lasting reminder of the amazing work that can be achieved when creativity, collaboration, and passion come together.

Congratulations to the students of Wildings Group for this incredible achievement, and thank you to Joe Tafferelli for his mentorship and support throughout this journey. We can’t wait to see this book in the hands of visitors to The Mary Rose Museum!
