Help for schools

We work with primary and secondary schools across Yorkshire, recognising the vital role teachers and school staff play in children’s lives. They know their pupils, understand the challenges they face and build the trusted relationships that help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

We’re here to strengthen that work by responding quickly to identified need and helping schools give every child the best possible chance to thrive. Through practical support, grants, campaigns, days out, enterprise programmes and transformational building projects, we help children arrive prepared, feel included, develop new skills and take part more fully in school life.
