At Ultra Education CIC, our mission has always been to empower the next generation of young entrepreneurs by giving them the skills, confidence and real world opportunities to turn their ideas into businesses, their talents into income, and their voices into impact.
Over the past two months, our young people have given us so much to celebrate. From a record breaking book launch, to a Mayor of London nomination, to a national advisory board appointment, this is a moment of real pride for our Ultra Family.
📚 Jayce Hits 1,000+ Books Sold On His Birthday
We are bursting with pride.
Our young author Jayce Joyce recently launched Our Stories Our World at the Library of Birmingham, bringing together over 150 children and families to celebrate the book and the incredible 20 young authors aged 6 to 10 who contributed to it.
And then came the big moment.
In just over three weeks, Jayce and his fellow young authors sold over 1,000 copies of the book, putting them firmly on the path towards securing a Guinness World Record 🏆
Even more special, this milestone landed on Jayce’s birthday 🎂
In Jayce’s own words:
“This is more than a milestone. It is a reminder of what is possible. Thank you to everyone who supported this journey by purchasing a book, sharing our story, or encouraging us along the way. Together, we have amplified the voices of 20 children aged 6 to 10 across the UK and shown the power of youth led storytelling.”
This is exactly the kind of impact Ultra Education CIC exists to create.
