We would all like our children to breathe clean air but especially in school, we believe children deserve to be surrounded by clean air while they are learning. This is why we’re raising money to fund the purchase and operation of 30 air purifiers at Burley Oaks Primary School.
Indoor air quality directly affects our children in school. Research shows that:
• Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of airborne pollution.
• These effects include reduced concentration and cognitive performance as well as asthma and respiratory conditions.
• Diseases like Covid and Flu also spread through indoor air.
• Infection often leads to absence from school and hours of missed learning.
Air purifiers will provide the opportunity for us to significantly improve the air quality in the classroom environment by reducing indoor pollutants by 36%, reduce airborne viruses in of the air and break the chains of disease transmission by over 80%, thus helping to reduce the spread of diseases like Covid and Flu*.
We are hoping to raise enough money to buy and operate 30 air purifiers across ALL shared spaces in Burley Oaks Primary School for the foreseeable future. Your donation will help us achieve the following:
• £170 will buy one air purifier for a classroom
• £40 will cover the cost of a replacement filter
• £25 will ensure the air purifier has power for a year
To keep the campaign achievable and maintain momentum, we’ve set clear funding targets along the way:
• £2,000 will fund purifiers for the first 12 shared learning spaces.
• £4,000 allows us to expand into more classrooms, protecting over 20 full classes of children.
• £7,000 brings us within reach of our final goal: 30 purifiers across all shared and learning spaces at Burley Oaks—and a budget to keep them running.
Every stage takes us closer to safer, cleaner air for every pupil and teacher at Burley Oaks.
Every child deserves to breathe easily. Help us create a healthier, safer environment for the pupils at Burley Oaks Primary School by donating now.
Thank you for your support!
