Set up a regular donation today and you could champion a child's education, helping them to increase their confidence and language skills so they can access an education.

Regular donations are particularly important to small charities like Jacari so we can plan ahead and provide long-term tuition to children with EAL in Bristol and Oxford. ‍

Refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant children are arriving in the UK and going straight into our schools with little or no English. They struggle to settle-in, understand their teachers or take part in lessons. They also can’t make friends easily or develop their social skills. Many of these young people have fled conflict and experienced trauma. Having a stable school-life is vital, somewhere they can feel secure and valued and have some sense of normality. But they need to quickly learn English language skills to access this.

By donating to Jacari, you’ll be helping us match these children with a volunteer, who will visit them every week during term-time, providing them with fun, informal tutoring, playing games and building their confidence. Most of our tutors are university and sixth form students and become an important role model for their pupil, a trusted young person who they feel comfortable with, providing regular support and making learning fun.

Your donations will also help us organise fun trips and activities for the children and their families so they can practise their English in a relaxed setting, do something fun together and visit local attractions they may not otherwise have access to.

As a small charity we rely entirely on fundraising over £150,000 every year. The majority of our funding comes from grants from trusts and foundations and the National Lottery, however we increasingly need donations from our supporters to ensure we raise enough to support children and young people facing educational disadvantage.
