Funded Projects Archive

Since Edge was set up, we have worked with a range of educational institutions and not-for-profit organisations around the UK on a huge variety of projects and initiatives. Edge no longer grant-funds projects, but this page shares information about those projects which are part of Edge’s legacy. We now focus on creating change through our Research, Policy and Practice work.
