Story
The influx of Afghan families arriving into the UK in Autumn 2021 with next to no possessions, prompted us to create a new unbranded and non-numbered Refugee SchoolBag so that beneficiary children would not stand out as charity cases. These were packed, boxed and couriered out to the numerous council hubs around the UK who became the perfect outlets for distributing them whilst integrating the new arrivals in to society. The SchoolBags enabled refugee children to have the resources they needed to continue their education, either in the lessons held in the bridging hotels where they were residing or after enrolling into schools if their families were lucky enough to be put in a home. The feedback from the beneficiary families was heartwarming - the SchoolBag became one less thing families had to provide for their children.
