Our Current Priorities

SHINE has spent the last seven years researching, developing and testing educational projects enabling us to identify areas where we can make a difference and find out what really works. Currently, we are replicating some of our projects which have been delivering measurable educational benefits, so that more children, either in the one borough, or across a number of London boroughs can benefit. We are also piloting the replication of a select number of our projects in Manchester.

This doesn't mean we've stopped searching – our grants team are constantly seeking new and innovative projects to fund. However, our priority in the immediate future is to fund more of what we know works.

If you would like to find out more about our developing programme of replication, or if you would like to draw our attention to any innovative new projects you think might be of interest to us, please contact us.
