Teach English, Transform Lives

Teach English Transform Lives

Imagine you arrive in a new country, full of hope, but unable to speak the language so communication is extremely limited and hard. You can’t find a job, talk to your children’s teachers, have an appointment with a GP without a translator present. Your life becomes very closed and limited. This is the reality for many refugees and migrants.

This is why teaching English to refugees and migrants
is not just important—it’s life-changing.

So this becomes our why for committing to provide a weekly term-time English Language Club. We see the daily difference it has made and continues to make. But we can’t meet the growing need, your donation today will be matched through our Aviva Community Fund project and you can gift aid it too!

Help Us Meet The Demand

English Language Club learners and volunteers

So far in 2024 we have had 91 attendees to the classes with 23 children being looked after in our creche whilst their parents are in the class. Without childcare on site, parents were not able to attend, so no one is excluded.

We have been able to support two-thirds of attendees with travel to the class to overcome this obstacle and increase attendance.

At the time of writing this, we have 33 people on the waiting list to join the English Language Club at KAP.

Through our Aviva Crowdfunder project, your donation will be doubled. This is a time-limited opportunity.

We invite you to take up this opportunity to have a great impact on meeting the increase in demand for our English Language Club.

What Your Donation Could Fund

    • Qualified Instructors: Hiring experienced teachers who understand the unique challenges faced by our students.

    • Learning Materials: Providing textbooks, online resources, and interactive tools to enhance learning.

    • Support Services: Offering additional support such as childcare during classes, transportation assistance, and access to one to one support.

    Double The Impact

    For every pound that is donated through our appeal, a further one pound will be matched by Aviva Community Fund. 

    If you donate £100, King’s Arms Project will receive £200! £250 is the maximum donation level that Aviva will match. Ready to donate!

    Don’t Forget! If you are a UK tax payer, you can ‘gift aid’ your donation! So a single donation of £250 will be worth £562.50!

    With your generous support, we can open the doors for these eager individuals on our waitlist, granting them the invaluable opportunity to immerse themselves in the transformative experience of the Language Club.

    Thank you!
