The Discovery Project
In 2016, we launched our new community investment programme called The Discovery Project to help 1 million people over the next five years.
The programme will support skills, knowledge and innovation projects through three areas:
Explorer - to help people learn about the world around them
Transformer - to guide people through work-focused support and training
Changemaker - to support community projects and fund innovations that help society
We will expand our existing successful work in employment, education and enterprise and create new initiatives that together will aim to inspire people to have the confidence to make the most of the future.
