 URASTAR Enterprise is a social enterprise based in Birmingham whose primary focus is helping young people make the right decisions. How do they do this? By organizing concerts, road shows, arts and crafts training, a whole plethora of activities.

The Solution: creation of a WordPress Blog, Facebook group, and strategies for creating conversations, networking with potential sponsors, and making their services more attractive to their audience.
