A school at the heart of our community Mulberry Academy Shoreditch is a secondary school that sits in the shadows of some of the most powerful and wealthy companies in the world, just a stone’s throw from the City of London. But the school is a charity, serving some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in London, if not the country. The last year has been extremely difficult for our students, where they have found themselves locked down in often cramped and inadequate housing with little stimulus and a lack of physical movement that we would like to address as we come out of lockdown and schools begin to return to normal. There is an urgent need to give all students the opportunity in the Summer term, not just to return to the classroom, but to have fun, to experience a trip somewhere, to feel the freedom of the seaside or a camping trip and to enrich their lives and undo the mental and emotional damage that lockdown will have caused. If you feel passionate about helping us to do this for our young people aged 11-18 – please donate to this just giving page – no matter how little or how much – you will make a different to children’s lives and we will acknowledge this.
