A Letter to Industry
To whom it may concern,
We are writing to introduce Shared Area — a new education platform being built as a registered charity. Our mission is simple: to give every person free, equal access to verified, safe, and inspiring education.
We are not a business. We are not selling a product. We are building a piece of national education infrastructure — a platform where the best educational content, verified by real subject specialists, is available to everyone regardless of age, ability, or personal circumstance.
To do this well, we need industry partners who share our belief that education should be a public good. We're looking for organisations willing to:
- Sponsor a subject area — your organisation's name associated with trusted education in your field of expertise
- Fund prizes — reward the best student and creator content with awards that carry your brand
- Provide avatar items — engage with learners through branded accessories in our avatar store
- Support our verifiers — help us recognise the teachers and specialists who keep the platform trustworthy
In return, your organisation receives transparent recognition across the platform, a dedicated sponsor page, presence at our events and outreach campaigns, and the knowledge that you are directly supporting free education for thousands of learners.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how your organisation could be involved. Every partnership — no matter its size — makes a meaningful difference.
Yours faithfully,
The Shared Area Team
