WELCOME!

We are experts in Enterprise, Employability and Personal Development. We have a proven track record of engaging, motivating and progressing young people into education, work, or self-employment.

We work with schools, colleges and universities both locally and internationally to provide bespoke enterprise and employability-based workshops, training and development programmes.

Our founder Sadie Sharp could see that there was a shortage of practical work experience especially within the entrepreneurial world. Sadie wanted to give young people the opportunity to explore how to take an idea or a passion and turn them into a career, as well as develop the skills that would help them thrive and have confidence in their next steps.

We have a wealth of business and education experience and have combined the two to provide high quality resources, training and real-life youth trading experiences.

Our proven development model introduces young people to a range of different career skills and youth led business options resulting in an 89% success rate.

The number of school students aged 11-18 being referred to The Platform Project has increased dramatically in the past two years, many of whom struggle to regulate their emotions within the school environment because of their mental health.

In recent years we have seen an increasing number of young people experiencing significant mental health challenges, preventing them from attending education, having the confidence to apply for employment, or in some cases even leaving their bedrooms. That’s why we’re working in partnership with the NHS local Integrated Care Board to reach those in mainstream education struggling with mental health issues. 🙌 If you know someone aged 11-18 who could benefit from one-to-one support from therapeutically trained and qualified mentors, please see our website to make a referral - https://www.platformproject.co.uk/referrals · #swindon #wiltshire #nonprofit #charity #therapeuticmentoring #youthmentorship #mentoringyouth #mentoring #swindonmentors #theplatformproject #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport

Just a few words that were used to describe today’s networking event (from both visitors and the young people)... awesome, inspiring, proud, aspirational, talkative, exquisite, BINGOOOO!! 🥳 I’m not sure there is much more we can add to that other than a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended! It means the world to us and our young people, and we genuinely feel the students got a huge confidence boost! 💪 We definitely will be holding another networking event at some point next year! · #swindon #wiltshire #nonprofit #inspiringswindon #inspiringthenextgeneration #swindonnetworking #networking #youthenterprise #enterprise #careers

Today was our first ever off-site outdoor wellbeing day since we raised funds on our sponsored walk! We hired the athletics track and organised a range of races, rounders, and football. We then had a fab tour of Swindon Town Football Club followed by a Subway on the way home! 🤪 It was so much fun and has really highlighted the importance of getting outdoors and doing something a bit different. The impact it has on both our students and staff is huge and so important for our mental health & wellbeing. Really pleased that we were also able to do this on World Mental Health Day!! 💙 We would love to make this a long-term project and so if anyone would like to donate to our outdoor wellbeing fund, or can recommend places we can take our students, please get in touch by emailing info@platformproject.co.uk Our next activity is rock climbing in December! 🧗 · #swindon #wiltshire #nonprofit #inspiringswindon #inspiringthenextgeneration #wellbeing #swindontown

We had Hopeful Hub who use old shut down hotels to provide accommodation and work for homeless people, SWH (Solve World Hunger) and Sacred Ivory providing support and funds to protect animals who are at risk.

We had an EPIC night – did you join us or did you miss out?!? Our Epic Game Show Fundraiser at @meca_swindon on Saturday was an amazing night and a HUGE success! We SMASHED our £5,000 fundraising target, and raised £12,000! 🥹🎉 Thank you to everyone who supported us – our sponsors, donors, teams and guests – you all made such an incredible difference and have helped us raise much needed cash to expand our work supporting young people! AND WE’RE DOING IT ALL AGAIN ON THE 22nd JUNE 2024, so hold the date in your diary and we’ll release the tickets very soon! Watch this space... 🤪 📸: Tiger Watts (@tigerwattsstills) @hrdeptswindon @gkroofing @gleedmediauk @blacknovadesigns @evilempire_marketing @wiltscf @paddywhackdogwalkers @lucypetcarer @ipsumswindon @PrimeTheatre · #swindon #wiltshire #nonprofit #platformproject #theplatformproject #fundraiser #fundraising #swindonevents #PlatformFundraiser2023 #inspiringswindon #inspiringthenextgeneration #totalguidetoswindon
