The Roots Programme
Donation protected
The Roots Programme is a radical social business to create a more compassionate, curious and united UK. We need £40,000 to get started.
It's no secret that we're currently a divided country. A Brexit referendum drove a wedge into cracks that already existed - Scotland and England, city and country, north and south, different classes, races and social backgrounds were thrown into stark opposition. The truth is that these oppositions have been around for some time.
The problem is we never have chance to interact with those outside our bubble. Even some of the most senior politicians, businesspeople and media leaders realised how out of touch they were with everyday life. Meanwhile, for communities across the nation, such influence seemed further away than ever.
We want to change that. We believe in the simple principle that when people from different perspectives come together, magic happens. We will run exchange programmes - both for private and state schools, and for leaders in society and local communities - to have them truly walk in one another's shoes.
We have a programme ready to go and the support of individuals, institutions and schools across Britain. But we need your help.
Over time, The Roots Programme will be funded by major philanthropy and participation fees from those who can afford it. However, at the moment we're a pilot scheme, and we need support in funding the first few months of operations. With this money, we can hire a lean central team and get Roots up and running.
Will you help us? Our target is ambitious, but this is something we believe in - and we know others do too.
