Event Sponsorship
Discover is a new and innovative tutoring programme that can be used both independently and alongside other programmes we run here at the project. For students who access Engage or Connect Mentoring it’s a great opportunity to also add on some bolt on tutoring session in Maths and English that support your young people academically but also keeping our unique approach and style to working with young people.
What truly ignited this programme was a request from our young people! Already being in a setting where they feel safe, comfortable and want to succeed meant that if we could further support them in essential subjects like Maths and English then we would!
Discover is also the perfect tutoring programme for those young people who may struggle to learn in a mainstream setting and need more bespoke 1:1 support which can be in person in our brand-new youth development suite or online.
What others have said about us:
"The programme offering makes them unique – students don’t even realise it’s educational...
The tutoring – it’s a great addition to what they offer. We’ve used it a lot with one student. They wouldn’t have taken their GCSE’s without it."
Donations & Prizes
- Do you find the thought of a busy classroom overwhelming?
- Do you find it tricky to keep up with your teacher and those around you?
- Do you find that the topics you study are not relevant to your interests?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then Discover at The Platform Project may be for you.
We aim to support you in your learning, to ensure that you get the best opportunities and we provide you with different options for the future.
On the Discover programme, how you learn, will be decided by you. We will ensure that any activities you do fit with your interests, and we will teach you in a way that is completely unique to your needs and goals.

Tickets, Wine & Accomodation
Discover Tutoring is our new and innovative programme that supports young people in Maths and English GCSE preparation, Functional Skills, and general catch up for Key Stage 3 students (Year 7-9).
Our tutors bring a wealth of experience from different educational settings. They creatively design a personalised programme, which will align with the curriculum and integrate key skills and learning into activities, which our students enjoy.
We have an holistic approach to all aspects of work with our young people and take pride in building trusting relationships to help them thrive.
We work with students who have been referred in by schools or the local authority, and we can also take private bookings from parents and carers who may be home schooled or need some extra support alongside school.
What others have said about us:
"They take their own interest and develop into a business.
From the moment you walk in, it feels like a family."
