Hello
This was slightly tricky as 'enrich' turned out to be spelt 'NRICH'!
At first I found the "Enrich Maths Project" described like this:
"This is the online version of a project which is aimed at offering
maths curriculum support to very able children and is based at the
University of Cambridge School of Education. The project also offers
support, advice and in-service training to teachers, and resources for
mathematics clubs. The resources section includes interactive geometry
problems, games and links to other sites."

This led me to the actual project which is called NRICH, presumably
pronounced 'enrich' but standing for 'National Royal Institution
Cambridge Homerton'. They say:
"The project aims to establish a permanent national centre for
curriculum enrichment to provide mathematical learning support for
very able children of all ages. The learning and enjoyment of
mathematics will be promoted through an Internet Newsletter and the
participation of university students as peer teachers providing an
electronic answering service."

Their welcome page explains:
" The NRICH Prime Site is part of the NRICH Online Maths Club, which
is FREE to join. Click on the NRICH Club button below to go to the
club's home page. You will find more games, problems and information -
mostly for Secondary level, but some very good for Primary too. Visit
the Library to find all the past problems, games, magazines and links
to other sites. "

I hope this is helpful; it looks as if an able child could have fun
with the NRICH club. Please feel free to ask for clarification if
anything needs further explanation.

PS In the course of working on your question, I noticed a second on
the same subject. I'll put a note on it, explaining it doesn't need to
be answered, but you might want to contact the editors to ask them
close the question altogether.
