Every school term, there are children across the UK who walk into classrooms without the basic supplies they need to thrive. For the fourth year running, Marshall Wace is partnering with Raise Your Hands to change that story.
This year, we’re aiming to deliver 55 backpacks to Dandelion Time, a small high-impact charity that delivers family therapy by connecting traumatised children to nature. With your help, they’ll start the school year with confidence, pride – and a backpack full of possibility.
It costs around £50 to fully equip one child with essential supplies, but thanks to our match funding initiative, every pound you donate will be doubled – so just £25 will cover the full cost of a backpack.
From £1 to £100, every contribution helps!
Join the Team Packing Day to help sort and pack the backpacks. It’s a hands-on way to connect with the cause and see the power of our collective effort in action.
When: Thursday 10 July, 4-5pm
Where: First floor restaurant
