“Seeing the announcement of yet another nationwide lockdown last Monday was tough for everybody, but my thoughts were immediately with the millions of children and their teachers who were to unexpectedly find themselves back at home rather than in the classroom,” Jake said.

“Knowing that many households don’t have sufficient internet access, or access to computers, made me feel like I wanted to do at least something to support the kids who will be left behind most by another lockdown and the long-lasting effect this will have on their education.

“So, I decided to do a fundraiser to help support these kids.”

Jake spent some time researching the issue online and discovered SHINE.

“I read about the great work they were doing to support kids in disadvantaged areas in the North of England,” said Jake.
