London, November 24, 2025 GoHenry – the money app helping kids learn to earn, save, spend and invest – is thrilled to reveal the winners of its annual Dream Big competition, including 11-year-old Arran from Edinburgh.
The competition champions the ambitions of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, across three different categories: Community, Talent, and Kidpreneur. This year, nine inspiring winners were selected from over 6,000 entries, each awarded £1,000 to help bring their dreams to life.
The winners were selected from a shortlist of 30 exceptional finalists by a panel of judges – GoHenry Founder Louise Hill, entrepreneur Sam Teale, The Apprentice star Tim Campbell MBE, BBC Race Across the World winner and mental health ambassador Alfie Watts, and teen equestrian Harlow White – alongside the results of a public vote.
Arran won the judges’ vote in the kidpreneur category after impressing with his baking business. Inspired by his grandfather and their Scottish heritage, Arran started “Bonnie Bairn Bakes”, providing baking kits for kids to make Scottish treats like scones and shortbread, accompanied by a leaflet outlining the history of the recipe.
Arran plans to use the £1,000 to grow Bonnie Bairn Bakes even further, investing in eco-friendly packaging, YouTube videos, and his own website. He hopes to expand into more recipes in the next few years, to teach more kids around the country how to cook.
Kidpreneur category winner Arran said:
“Winning the Dream Big Competition is a really special moment for me. I am really proud of myself and I also want to say thank you to my papa, who has helped me so much with Bonnie Bairn Bakes.
“The prize money from GoHenry means I can make Bonnie Bairn Bakes even bigger and learn new recipes, so I can teach even more kids like me how to cook. In the next 10 years, I hope to be as successful as Gousto!”
Louise Hill, GoHenry’s Founder, commented:
“Every year, I am hugely impressed by the passion and ambition of all the entrants to our Dream Big Competition. From aspiring sports stars to kidpreneurs and community champions, it’s amazing to see how the next generation is taking the initiative and following their dreams. A big congratulations to Arran and all of our Dream Big winners!”
