Hi Team, I hope you're all well.

I wanted to share a project I’m organising to support an underprivileged school in Harlow, Essex, where my partner, Char, currently teaches.

For many children, school is more than just a place to learn. It’s their only warm meal, their only safe space, and often the only place they can just be kids.

After speaking with the charity and volunteering leads at Softcat, I’ve received full support to move forward with this initiative. Now, I’m reaching out to ask for your help.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Team Donations: Any contribution, big or small, would make a difference. Even £1 can buy new pencils or colouring supplies.

• Volunteering: I’m planning a day where we can visit the school to run sessions on internet safety and online awareness.

Donations will go towards:

• Stationery and books

• Stickers and classroom rewards

• General classroom essentials
