Educational Resources
Lendwithcare is a fantastic tool for engaging children of all ages in topics such as global poverty, overseas aid, personal finance and entrepreneurship. These topics can be brought to life in the classroom through our resources and fundraising ideas below, which are also suitable for youth groups such as Scouts, Guides and Woodcraft Folk Clubs.
If you are a school or youth group planning on taking part in this project with your children, please contact us at [email protected] so we are aware of your participation.
If you are a parent wanting to encourage your child's school or youth group to get involved, please ask them to contact us directly for more information.
