Evening all
I know that this has nothing to do with the forum as such, but i work in a Local Authority Special School which caters for disadvantaged pupils who have a range of Emotional and Behavioural difficulties and im searching for sponsorship to begin life changing opportunities for my pupils.
My role is Head of Alternative Provision and it is my job to try to prevent our pupils from becoming long term non attenders or getting themselves permanently excluded. To do this i would like to set up a couple of programmes which will promote life skills and also raise the profile of engineering as a career choice for the pupils who are more suited to vocational or work place learning.
The first scheme is a sustainable community bicycle recycling project where pupils will recycle bikes and return them to use by disadvantaged families
The second is the Caterham Sevens for Schools project which gives pupils the chance to build a Caterham car over the course of a year.
In order to begin these projects we need funding mainly to rent a unit in Lincoln and to raise the cash for the initial purchase price of the Caterham kit.
If anyone is interested in offering any assistance in these projects or would like any more info, please get in touch.
Thanks in anticipation. Tim
