Annie's donates £10,000 to help support a local school

 

Aiming to raise awareness and supporting a very important cause Annie Haak of Annie Haak Designs Ltd has donated £10,000 to Herne Junior School, to provide digital devices to support children with distance education. The business objective is to help parents and children access remote learning during coronavirus (COVID-19).

Pupils of Herne Junior School Headteacher of Herne Junior School

 

Over the last few months, the world has changed for us all and it hasn’t been easy for our schools, parents and children. Although a lot has been done to adapt to these changes and we are all in awe of our teacher’s extraordinary efforts in these difficult circumstances, there are still challenges when it comes to remote education. The reality is that there are pupils that face falling behind their peers as many are without digital devices or even internet access. Due to a surge in coronavirus cases the schools are closed once again, and it is more important than ever to support them.

Annie feels very strongly about her beliefs on giving back to the community, especially during these unprecedented and challenging times and Corporate Social Responsibility is high on her company’s values. We really hope other Companies who haven’t suffered throughout this crisis could follow this path and help our future generation.
