School students this morning raided a giant piggybank outside the Bank of England building…but only took £10 each.

The event was one of several across the UK to launch Make Your Mark with a Tenner, a national enterprise competition which is loaning 20,000 young people £10 each, challenging them to make as much profit and social impact as they can in just one month.  A loan from the Tenner bank will give them the chance to make a profit far greater than today’s interest rates.
