Speaking of Sponsorship

Sponsors and supporters share their love of helping children

“There are so many people living in poverty all around the world and you may not be able to help all of them. But I have seen how sponsoring just one person has brought a life-changing hope to his life.”

Volunteer

“I have so much enjoyed being a sponsor for many years. The gratitude and love and letters I receive from children and family warms and touches my heart.”

Volunteer

“We would encourage anybody to sponsor, it’s so easy to spend £28 a month on coffees, magazines and treats without really thinking about it. But for the same cost each month you could change a child’s life.”

Volunteer

Committed to transparency:

Thank you to our current partners:

ARK at Egwood is an intergenerational land-based day service for people of all ages, needs and abilities. Based upon 12 acres of land and woodland, ARK creates a safe, outdoor space, for people to relax, engage with others and improve their overall health and wellbeing. We grow our own produce, vegetables and flowers, and offer a number of rural based arts and crafts, cooking, hedgelaying and other activities on site.

Success stories

What people are saying

“Thank you for your time and training. We thought it was very helpful for our students and they enjoyed it. It was well structured, and the transitions were perfectly on time. We liked how you interacted with our students and they appreciated the time. We passed the feedback to our Careers Coordinator.”

"ESS provides education and pastoral support to young people with highly complex needs, adapting their approach to meet individual circumstances and learning needs. Their ability to balance academic learning with strong pastoral support is a real strength, creating flexible programmes that evolve as a young person’s needs change. ESS works closely with families and the wider professional network, engaging positively with multi-disciplinary teams and sharing clear feedback on progress and outcomes. Their commitment to tailored, holistic support makes them a valuable part of the wider support network.”

“Your compassion, patience and commitment make such a difference to the lives of children and young people every day. The care, support and kindness you show make a real difference, and your hard work certainly does not go unnoticed. Thank you for being such an important source of support and encouragement to the children and young people you work with. We truly appreciate everything you do and the positive difference you make.”

“ESS is a brilliant provision that centres its support around the child or young person and their aspirations, bringing together a unique package to help them progress into the future. Photographs and written reports clearly show the progress they are making towards their outcomes, with evidence provided consistently without prompting. Kelly is always professional, and you can feel her passion for achieving good outcomes for children and young people.”

“The last two years have been incredibly difficult for our family. Following two hospitalisations and a number of challenges affecting our young person’s wellbeing, it became clear that mainstream education was no longer suitable. I was extremely worried about finding the right learning and support. ESS responded quickly and even travelled to Bristol to meet with us. Kelly explained what they could offer, and I immediately felt a sense of relief. They now attend regularly and are settling well into their routine. Their teacher has been fantastic at understanding them and providing the structure and learning they need. It has been a real lifeline, and it is wonderful to see them enjoying learning again. I’m incredibly grateful to ESS for the difference they have made to our family.”
