Milestone, the AIM quoted (AIM: MSG) provider of digital media and

also known as Plan B, as an Ambassador for the Passion Project, bringing

Milestone is in the process of engaging a number of key organisations

activities and co-produce key events.
The Passion Project uses a number of engagement methods to attract young
people to the initiative that aims to help 16 - 24 year olds identify
and develop their skills and passions into meaningful employment
opportunities.
Ben Drew, primarily known as Plan B, is an English rapper,
singer-songwriter, actor and film Director. After a troubled start in
life, Ben is now a popular performer and inspiration for many young
people with his talent recognised by key industry experts. Over his
career he has won multiple awards, including the BRIT Award for Best

Awards, three MOBO Awards, three Q Awards and six UK Music Video Awards.

Ambassador, he will work with Milestone to promote the Passion Project
through his social media networks.
In 2012, Plan B founded The Each One Teach One Trust ("EOTO"). EOTO is
an innovative movement of dedicated groups whose aim is to help create
opportunities and enable positive, long-term changes in the lives of
young people. They work with inspiring individuals to give young people
new skills to increase their confidence and improve their chances in
life. This vision and ethos perfectly matches with the aims of the
Passion Project and its existing Founding Partners resulting in Ben Drew
bringing EOTO to the Project as a Founding Partner.
This new relationship offers an opportunity for extensive cross
collaboration between Ben Drew, EOTO and the Passion Project which the
Company believes will enhance both parties' ability to engage and
deliver targeted events and programmes to young people. These activities

people to build a better future for themselves - we look forward to
developing our shared vision."
