Equip a future, empower a life- help us give every student the tools to thrive

At the River Bourne Edge, we are dedicated to empowering vulnerable students through education. Our unique approach focuses on nurturing relationships and fostering a supportive environment for those aged 11–16 who struggle in mainstream schooling. These young individuals often face significant barriers, but with the right resources, they can truly thrive.

We’re aiming to raise £3,300 to enhance our learning environment with crucial tools like an interactive whiteboard, outdoor equipment, and learning resources. These items aren’t just extras; they are vital to sparking curiosity and building confidence in our students.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in their lives. Please consider donating or sharing our campaign. Together, we can create an inspiring place where every student can engage, discover, grow, and feel empowered.

Thank you for your support.

If you’re able to donate items or resources, no matter how big or small, you’ll be making a meaningful difference in a young person’s journey. Thank you for helping us create a space where every student can grow.
