With post pandemic recovery and the cost-of-living crisis increasingly impacting the emotional wellbeing of the most underprivileged children and families in the UK, Breyer Group has partnered with the Chandran Foundation to provide local school support.
Breyer Repair has provided funds for 30 students at Streatham Wells Primary School in Lambeth to receive specialist headphones. While at a school in Wandsworth, Breyer Foundation has made a donation to cover the cost of a learning mentor from Chandran Foundation. The mentor will work with pupils who demonstrate social, emotional and mental health needs, providing them with emotional intelligence, mentoring and support to reduce and prevent the risk of exclusion from school.
Liz Obertelli, Head of Social Value & Communities for Breyer, commented:
“The outcomes from these specific interventions play a huge part in social value, particularly with those people and places where the highest levels of need are identified. Working together with Chandran Foundation, we can together address digital poverty and social inequalities, as well as improve health and wellbeing and the overall quality of lives.”
Nicole Rice, Grants Manager at Chandran Foundation, added:
“It is only through the generous support of organisations like Breyer that we can work with schools to meet the needs of underprivileged children in our communities. Our school programmes are making a difference to so many children who would otherwise fall behind educationally because of social and emotional needs that we can help to address.”
As well as supporting children and families with additional needs, Breyer’s work with Chandran Foundation will enable us to promote career and apprenticeship pathways to young people, which will equally develop the future skilled workforce that the industry requires.
