I've raised £1000 to give children the chance of childcare by providing grants to parents of children under 4 who could not otherwise afford it.

Giving children the chance of childcare by providing grants to parents who could not otherwise afford it
According to the government childcare begins at 2?? Or at least that's when parents start to get 'free' education funding for their children. And for parents who claim Universal Credit, they are required to pay the first months childcare costs upfront before they can reclaim up to 85% the following month.
The Zizus Foundation will empower parents of children under the age of 4 to return to work by paying for the first months childcare costs. Studies show that 1.7 million women in the UK are in the position of wanting to go to work but unable to afford the upfront cost, potentially costing the economy £28.2bn per year in lost economic output!
The Zizus Foundation will also help and support parents of children under 2 years who are experiencing domestic abuse, homelessness, death of a parent, or other significant life event, by paying 100% of the cost of full-time childcare so that they have the flexibility of attending appointments and accessing services with the reassurance that their children are in a safe environment.
