VOLTAGE HAS NOW COME TO THE END OF ITS FUNDING. WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD OVER EASTER TO TAKE THE BEST BITS OF VOLTAGE INTO A NEW PROJECT. IF YOU ARE A VOLUNTEER OR TEACHER WHO HAS ANY FEEDBACK ABOUT THE PROJECT PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH AS YOUR INPUT IS ESSENTIAL TO DESIGNING A SUCCESSFUL REPLACEMENT FOR VOLTAGE.

Primary Voltage is a spin off of the larger Voltage project.

Through unique games and support you will help a year 5 class find something they want to change in their local or global community… you will then help them set up an actual business that will raise awareness and money for the change they want to make.

This is an exciting new project that was received extremely well in it’s pilot last year. Contact Heather if you have any questions or would like to get involved in this project.
