CreativeCapital
Platform3 has been project manager of CreativeCapital since its inception as a London Arts pilot project in April 2002.

Shape
Shape is the largest disability arts organisation in the UK that works across the arts, cultural and creative sectors.
Platform3 is currently working with Shape to track the success and development of Link Up, a major three-year (2006 – 09) professional development programme for D/deaf and disabled practitioners, supported by the London Development Agency.
Norfolk Arts Partnership
(www.norfolkartspartnership.org)
In 2007, we completed an evaluation of Norfolk Arts Partnership's Creative Change programme, which piloted new creative arts projects tackling a wide range of community and social issues.
South Bank & Bankside Cultural Quarter Consortium
In 2007, Platform3 carried out a mapping project that gathered information about creative activities for children aged three to twelve in Southwark and Lambeth.
Our findings assisted in the development of partnerships between the organisations working with children and young people and cultural organisations, as part of the SBBCQC's Invest to Save funded programme, 'Putting Young People at the Heart of the Arts'.
Live Music Now!
Platform3 evaluated the pilot Live Music Now! / Youth Music Fellowship Programme, which took place in Manchester, Birmingham and London in 2005. The Fellowship Programme offered training and mentoring in music leadership to young classically trained musicians.
Creative Skills
Platform3 undertook an evaluation for Creative Skills in Cornwall into the delivery of its European Social Fund (ESF) funded services for creative practitioners, between 2004 and 2006. The work entailed getting feedback and information from beneficiaries, project staff and partners through face-to-face and telephone interviews, and paper-based feedback questionnaires.
Arts Centre Trust

Platform3 carried out an evaluation for Arts Centre Trust in Cornwall, into the delivery of its European Social Fund (ESF) Objective Three funded support for artists and arts practitioners, on behalf of ArtsMatrix, between March 2005 and December 2006.
APD (Artists' Professional Development Network)
In 2005, we completed a piece of work with APD (the Artists' Professional Development Network), which produced a new strategic plan (in consultation with the APD advisory group) and a separate document demonstrating the strategic value of APD and 'making the case' financially and philosophically, for its support.
ArtsMatrix
(www.artsmatrix.org.uk)
ArtsMatrix is the continuing professional development agency for creative practitioners in the South West. In 2004, Platform3 was appointed to assist ArtsMatrix in becoming an independent legally constituted body, and wrote a three-year business plan and a successful funding application.
ArtsMatrix came back to Platform3 for assistance with appointing its first director and setting up a new Board of Directors.
