Our Projects
We have a tiered pricing plan to accommodate all financial situations and provide programmes for free when funding is available. On completion of the programme children can keep the reading books, stationery and the grammar workbooks they were provided with on the programme. We want the learning to continue.
Maths, English, Read and Feed: Pilot
In the spring of 2015 we ran a 5-week pilot Maths and English support programme at Acocks Green Scouts hut for children aged 9-12 years old. Equal importance was given to learning and providing food for the children. Feedback was taken from the parents, children and staff to measure the feasibility of running such a course in future.
The SPAGhetti Course
In 2018 we ran a Spelling Punctuation And Grammar course for 8-12 year olds based on the Roald Dahl Matilda book. Equal emphasis was made on learning materials and providing meals for the children. Children were assessed at the beginning and end of the course to measure the effectiveness of the course. Image c. Quentin Blake
Europia Covid-19 Educational Aid
During the Covid-19 pandemic, while the nation was in lockdown and the children were studying from home, we collaborated with Europia to provide basic educational provisions to children of struggling families in the Greater Manchester area.
Santa's Starry Stationery Set Surprises
Our 2021 Christmas initiative was the Santa's Starry Stationery Set Surprises project, providing stationery, activity and book bundles to children from struggling families so they would have a present to open this Christmas. Proceeds from our Christmas cards and notebooks along with a grant from The Co-operative bank funded our sets and helped us provide smiles to children this holiday.
