The Challenge
Educational inequality: a barrier to opportunity
For families facing financial disadvantage, many challenges can get in the way of a young person's learning. Often, there isn't a dedicated space at home where they can focus on their homework. And, their parent or caregiver may lack the confidence or resources to support them in their learning.
The ongoing housing crisis has exacerbated these difficulties, leaving even more families grappling with housing instability. Without a stable place to live, families are forced into temporary or crowded accommodation. These circumstances can create a substantial barrier to a child's education and future opportunities. Having a dedicated space to focus on homework becomes not just beneficial but a vital support in overcoming these challenges and ensuring every child has an equal chance to succeed.

- Access to trained volunteer tutors: Students have the opportunity to work with local volunteer tutors who possess the necessary skills and knowledge to support the club's activities.
