About Us
Discover is a registered charity. It was established in 1998 to provide creative, play and learning opportunities to enable children and their carers to develop their potential. It particularly targets families in circumstances of social and economic disadvantage and ensures that children are listened to and can participate in decisions that affect their lives.
In 2003 the Story Trail and Garden opened to the public after a major capital programme, and having consulted with local children, families. Discover is the UK’s first hands-on centre focusing exclusively on creativity through projects, exhibits and activities exploring words, language and imagination. Each year we work with over 50,000 children and adults, either in the Story Trail or through our extensive community, education and training programmes. For many children Discover provides their first opportunity to work with professional artists.
