The Platform Project is a not-for-profit business with the goal to bridge the gap between education and employment and give young people aged 16-24 the experience needed to create their own path. By participating in youth led business projects, they get to develop their skills and confidence which can be added to their CVs.
One of those projects includes organising charity events and this upcoming one is specifically done to raise money for the Platform Project.
On Tuesday 14th June, the interns have arranged a quiz night located and arranged with The Ridge. All the interns are responsible for everything, from the planning, to the communication with third parties and promoting the event.
On the day, doors open at 6.30pm with the quiz starting an hour later. There will be food specifically for the night, a platter with a vegetarian alternative. Tickets are sold for entry and tickets combined with the entry and food and they’re £5 and £12 respectively each.
When creating the quiz, it was decided that when people are taking part, people would be in teams and estimated that teams would have 2-6 people in each.
Also on the night, there will be a stall for a raffle which would take place midway through the evening, so everyone is organising the prizes and how the raffle is going to work.
Alongside this The Platform Project also has another event taking place in May, Project Pledge with all the managers and interns taking part. Project Pledge entails that everyone taking part are individually raising money for the Platform Project throughout May.
There’s are wide range of different types of pledges that everyone is doing from walking/running challenges, creating and selling merchandise, 24-hour gaming stream, fancy dress etc. How it works is people would donate to a specific person’s pledge which would get added to the overall funds raised from everyone taking part which will then be shown on the Project Pledge page on the Platform Project website.
