We hope that 25% of the population in the Kingston upon Thames Borough will purchase this application within the first 12 months of release.

The profit would be (Revenue – Cost) £59,749 - £20,000 = £39,749. This project is very sustainable because it is simple to run and easily profitable. Any profit generated will go back to the maintenance of the application and the remainder will be donated back to Partnership for Children Charity.…
