Molly's fundraiser for Action Tutoring
Molly Anderson is raising money for Action Tutoring
Story
Hey,
I'm Molly and I volunteer for a brilliant charity called Action Tutoring. It is so inspiring to see a pupil's confidence grow in line with their ability. The charity has partnerships with schools across the country and runs both online and in person tutoring sessions. I'd like to raise money to support this charity in the work they deliver. Money donated will be used generally to support the work of the charity but some specific examples include:
-the cost of the workbooks;
-headphones for the pupils participating in the online sessions &;
-online training for the tutors.
I am going to be running the Bristol 10k in May. I haven't been running for a while now and cannot wait to get back into it!
'Pupils from low income backgrounds are less likely to achieve academically. They have as much will, want and determination as their more affluent peers, but often lack access to the tools and resources that help them achieve. Due to the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, the attainment gap between pupils on free school meals and their more affluent peers is now at its highest mark in a decade. Disadvantaged pupils living in persistent poverty (i.e. on Free School Meals for more than 80% of their school life) are now, on average, over 22 months behind their classmates by the end of secondary school. Our support is needed now more than ever. At Action Tutoring, we know we can make a positive difference to the education, and thus life, of a child or young person. By donating to us, you are helping a young person build their maths or English subject knowledge, confidence and growth mindset, opening opportunities for them in education and the working world.'
Thank you :)
