Unilever Bright Future Awards 2023/24!
We are overjoyed to announce that our Unilever Bright Future Award winner is…
Bishops’ Blue Coat C of E High School!
Congratulations to Bishops’ Blue Coat C of E High School on a fantastic, planet-friendly project and a huge well done to Prenton High School (2nd), Bishop Heber High School (3rd) and all of our sensational special award winners!
In November 2023, All About STEM invited schools to take part in the Unilever Bright Future Programme hosted by Unilever Port Sunlight. Schools from across the region took part in activities that introduced them to processing, packaging, the environment and more. Following this, students had the opportunity to design their own environmentally friendly/sustainable product over a three-month period and then present their ideas to Unilever experts at our Awards and Celebration Day.
