ROADSTER'S HOBBY MODEL IS EXHAUSTED! (and that's a good thing!🚀)
(PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS POST!)
For the last three years, Roadster Magazine has been a parent & child passion project— a unique, child-led connected learning platform proving that we can successfully connect the motor industry to the next generation through engaging child-focused educational content. We've produced regular issues, seen organic growth, and secured brilliant industry acclaim.
But to meet national demand and truly scale our educational impact, we've hit the wall of the volunteer-led model. We can't reach the children who need us most without a full-time, professional structure.
That's why we're moving to Phase 2: Professionalisation and Scale.
Our plan is clear: Transition to a self-sustaining Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), funded by a dedicated Industry Consortium. This will allow us to establish experienced leadership, and—crucially—implement a permanent "Free-to-Schools" distribution model across the UK.
Does Roadster! have a future as a national force for good?
We need YOUR perspective to help us answer that question.
We’ve developed a low-risk, phased strategy, but its viability relies on an initial signal of industry commitment.
If your organisation cares about:
Talent pipeline and workforce development.
Genuine, measurable CSR impact in education.
Showcasing your industry to children ages 8–14.
then please take 3 minutes to complete our short, non-binding Signal of Interest Survey. Your input confirms our strategic plan and helps us secure the foundational funding needed to scale up.
