 Huddersfield’s Got Talent

The event is being held by year 2 Events Management students, who have to put on a live event as part of their course.  James Greenwood- General Manager of the event says, “Huddersfield's Got Talent is a brilliant opportunity for us all to gain invaluable skills and training towards our Events Management degree as well as opening doors to contacts nationwide.”

The Event is also part of the Million Makers campaign for the Prince’s Trust. This is a scheme running between schools, universities and businesses up and down the country to try and raise £1 million for the Prince’s Trust. The Huddersfield’s Got Talent team are hoping to raise £2500 for the campaign in the hope of winning  3 weeks work placement. “We want the event to be massive and raise as much money as possible for the Prince’s Trust, it’s all going to a very good cause.”
