Discover's community projects
Our mission is to transform lives through stories, creativity and imagination – to contribute to a world where confident, thoughtful, articulate children grow up to shape a better future for all. Through our community projects we work with partners across Newham and East London to make sure that every child has the chance to visit Discover.
We are grateful for the generosity of our funders without whom these projects would not be possible.
