Huge £1m gift to help Britain's poorest pupils working from home without pens and books

Today the Mirror launches a campaign to help lockdown pupils with an enormous donation of £1million from Britain’s biggest teaching union. We are aiming to raise much needed cash for kids left working from home without the most basic items such as colouring pens, books and notepads. All the money raised will go towards stationery and essential equipment for younger children still too young for online learning. Our “Help a Child to Learn” campaign aims to help every child get the education they deserve during the Covid crisis.
