It’s been a week of celebration for us at RedSTART Educate and a fantastic end to the year, after an intense and impactful 2024. Our brilliant strategic funding partners, Manulife | CQS Investment Management put us up in their fabulous offices on Trafalgar Square, so we had the best view of the sun setting over Nelson’s column, the sparkly Christmas market and the slightly underwhelming tree. We were also treated to some wonderful breakfast pastries that fuelled a very productive day as we looked at planning and efficiency and how that supports our scaling objective in 2025. Huge thanks to Victoria Simmons and Soraya Chabarek who have been supporters of ours from the start of #ChangetheGame. We also had some fantastic news from Pension Insurance Corporation plc who agreed to renew our strategic funding partnership for another 3 years and from Schroders who have extended their strategic funding partnership with us into 2025. We are so grateful to both organisations and are looking forward to working with you to deliver on our strategy in the coming years. We wish all our wonderful volunteers, teachers, funders, supporters and the 28,000 children who are now part of the #ChangetheGame programme, a very merry Christmas and a peaceful and joy filled New Year. We would not be where we are without you! Thank you so much. Here we are at the CQS office, about to head off for our Christmas meal and farewell drinks for our Christina Lartey, who leaves us at the end of the month to set up her own business, and a photo of our CEO, Sarah Marks, with a yellow, 13 foot penguin, at the brand new offices of PIC.
