Story

Real Action Emergency! Can you help?

Might any of your friends? Your acquaintances?

An important source of support for our wonderful Butterfly reading classes for disadvantaged literacy needy children has been the English Express classes we give to grown-ups. These are so popular that we had to set up 6 extra classes, in classrooms round the corner from our Learning Store (at the Queen's Park Children’s Centre). Very successful they have been; very supportive of our children’s classes.

But….

The ceiling collapsed – and we had to close the classes. Over the 4 months it’s taking to repair the ceilings and re-open them, the loss to our income is hitting us: nearly £7k per month. That’s a loss, during our summer income dip period, of nearly £28k of much needed fund.

Could you help? Could you dip in your pocket to help us through?
