Another aspect of the business involves running sessions for home-educated children. After speaking to parents, the park realised that in addition to demand from schools for coaching, there was also a large home education community in Greater Manchester for whom there was a potential opportunity to develop a service to run sessions. Subsequently, over 2016/17, Projekts MCR have run two morning sessions a week for homeeducated children, offering both coaching and free skating opportunities. These sessions are extremely popular, with not only home-educated children, but also younger children who are not yet attending school. These examples highlight the importance the park places on trying new ideas and taking informed risks.

The park has recently received �100,000 from Sport England to develop itself further. It aims to relocate the caf� and add another floor, which could be used as an office or for meetings. It will also allow the park to develop another concrete skating space. This will mean when areas are hired out for parties or exclusive events, the park can continue operating as normal, rather than having to turn down regular users. Projekts MCR would also consider investing its own reserves into expanding the park and would rather fund this expansion itself than take the risk of a bank loan. One of the challenges for Projekts MCR, however, is its relationship with the council. The council currently owns the land where the park is based, but getting permission to develop the park is difficult due to an overly complex communication processes within the council. Bypassing this communication process and going straight to the decision maker within the council seems to alleviate the problem, however Projekts MCR feels there needs to be a change in this process to make it easier for smaller groups to achieve their long term goals.
