Friends Of Suchana
(UK, 1138960) Browse events
YTD Raised: £770.99Our Vision Suchana believes that equality and social justice are key to a vision which can tackle the roots of poverty. We work with the least privileged to articulate and actualise rights: to quality education, to affordable healthcare, and to livelihoods which support and sustain our cultural identities and humanity. Suchana understands that priorities for development must evolve from within the community. We prioritise not simply literacy but education which helps build awareness and initiative to tackle local and global issues. Parents, teachers and other community members are closely involved in running the organisation and developing its future. What we do: Suchana has been working from 2004 to make education relevant, enjoyable and accessible to very marginalised children. Over 80% of the children i the education programmes are from 'adivasi' indigenous communities of Santals and Koras or are in the lowest status caste groups. About 60% have parents who cannot read or write. Most don't speak the language used in schools - Bengali - when they start school. Many attend government schools irregularly and have poor learning outcomes. The Education Resource Centre (ECR): The ECR runs a range of out-of-school learning programes for different age groups. These are carefully built inputs which seek to maximise the gains to adivasi and other marginalised children from attending mainstream schools by: Increasing the breadth and depth of basic literacy achieved by class 4 so they can better cope with the school curriculum; Broadening the scope of education offed to include creative writing, art, drama and music to bui;d a holistic learning environment. Centralising the cultures and experience of adivasi children so that education speaks to their lives and the children have the confidence to bring their realities into their schools.

Shepherds Down School Fund
(UK, 298561) Browse events
YTD Raised: £745.00Shepherds Down School Fund was set up to support Shepherds Down School, an infant and junior school for students with special needs in the Winchester area, Hampshire. The students, aged 4-11, have a variety of special needs including autistic spectrum disorder, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and physical difficulties. Whilst the school is funded by the local authority to deliver the students statutory education, the school is constantly looking at ways to add to and enhance every student’s school experience, with the intention that this will raise self-esteem, boost self-confidence and ultimately give each student the greatest opportunity to achieve once they have left the school. Such activities and projects of course cost money, and this is where the school’s registered charity looks to play its part. This, in practice, means working with the students, parents, staff and governors to look at projects that will provide the most benefit and impact to as many students as possible. Hence, the charity has raised money for projects large and small, a few examples of which are: Buying Christmas presents for students each year Purchase of two minibuses to take students on educational visits. Refurbishment of two sensory rooms within the school. Building canopies outside classrooms to provide a dry play area. Purchase of IPADS and eye gaze technology to enable pupils to experience and get involved in the new technology that is in the market. We are now hoping to raise money to complete our aim of having one IPAD for each class, a replacement minibus and converting a grass area into an all-weather play area. We are also going to have to upgrade our Light and Sound room and this project will be underway if we can secure funding.

Lets Read Ltd
(UK, 1127199) Browse events
YTD Raised: £715.00Our charity is passionate about the importance of literacy and tackling the problems of low literacy and its effect on the whole of our community. We help schools in the Sheerwater and Maybury areas of Woking where it has been found that as many as one in three children are starting Secondary School with a reading age of seven or lower. We provide volunteer tutors to schools and also give in excess of 3000 free books to children in schools in our area per year. By targeting children struggling to read at primary level we aim to help children overcome their difficulties at an early age. We use the synthetic phonics system developed by Ruth Miskin to help children with their reading. This year, 2010/2011 we have worked with four primary schools in the Woking area: Maybury Infants, Brookwood Primary, St John’s, and New Monument. With one-to-one tutor support for just one hour a week, over a period of 26 weeks, we have seen some of our pupils’ reading ages improve from not being able to read at all to having a reading age of 6 or 7 (equivalent to their chronological ages -our best results to date!). In addition to remedial tuition, we also give free books to children who have little access to books at home. Recent research from Nevada University has found that having as few as 20 books in the home can boost a child’s chances in life. This year we’ve given out books to 976 young people from 13 schools in the area. Each term, during the school year, the children participating in our scheme choose a book from a list of books provided. These books are presented to the children and are theirs to keep forever. We attach a bookplate to the inside front cover of each book which shows the child’s name and also has our logo to remind them in the future of the help they were given by us. We depend wholly upon charitable donations for the work that we do and all our tutors work on a voluntary basis. You can help us give the Gift of Reading to around 1000 local children each year: If you are a local business just think what 1% of your profits would do to help improve literacy of the young needy people of Woking. They are your future employees! Please help if you can. Every penny donated goes directly to this cause.
