SHINE is an education charity that works with teachers, schools, and other organisations, helping disadvantaged children in the North of England to fulfil their true potential.
Every child deserves the best start in life – regardless of background or where they live.
We fund dozens of educational projects around the North West, North East, and Yorkshire & Humber, all aimed at improving outcomes for the most disadvantaged and levelling the playing field for all children.
We back great ideas in the classroom and work with others in the areas of greatest need to drive change that is locally led.
