A TUITION company is marking 10 years in business by supporting 10 underprivileged children with their development.
Marie Redmond Tuition, which has a centre in Winnersh, has partnered with Sponsorstars, a charity that helps young people achieve their full potential by supplying them with school equipment, clothing and other essential items to level the playing field.
The company will be making a monthly donation throughout 2022 for stationery, clothing, sports equipment, books, feminine care products and any other items required.
Marie Redmond said: “We’re incredibly proud of our achievements over the last 10 years and this is our way of giving back and supporting children who may be in need of equipment to assist with their education and development.
“We know that child poverty can have a long-lasting effect on a child’s future and as an education company this is a cause that’s very close to our heart.
“Sponsorstars is a fantastic charity, and their work makes a real difference to the lives of the children they support, especially when it comes to learning and development.”
Donations also pay for transport if needed, with the ultimate aim of reducing the impact that poverty has on education and opportunities.
Sue Laidlaw, co-founder of Sponsorstars, said that one in four children in the UK are affected by poverty.
“In our consumer-driven society, many children go hungry on a regular basis,” she said. “They are cold in winter and many miss out on the benefits of education simply due to their lack of money.
“We’re delighted that Marie Redmond Tuition is supporting Sponsorstars. It’s partnerships such as this that ensure we can continue to offer vital support to underprivileged children across the country.
“A small sum of money can make a big difference. If you can sponsor a child with a regular donation, you can ensure that child won’t have to miss out on basic things.
“Our aim is to reduce the impact that this poverty has on education and opportunities – every young star needs to be able to fulfil their potential and shine.”
Ms Redmond has more than 20 years of education experience and now runs Ofsted registered tuition centres across Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
