A business founded by a former rugby player which is developing a tech platform to support school children’s mental health has secured £44,000 to scale.
Exeter-based Plus-ed, the venture of former England international back row forward Tom Johnson, has developed an app for tablet devices designed to help schools engage and educate students about physical and emotional wellbeing.
The business has raised the grant funding through government innovation agency Innovate UK, which it said it would use to hire developers and build a full web version of its platform.
