Who, why and how!
The five co-founders – Mia, Colin, Peter and ‘the Richards’ have 16 children and 1 grandchild between then, aged between 4 and 36 (the children, not the co-founders!). One of the Richards was a co-founder of the Nectar card, over 20 years ago; the other is our money man, together with Peter. Colin, our techie CEO is the youngest co-founder – he went to the same secondary school as co-founder Mia’s husband; albeit 23 years later!
Mia, whose career has been in marketing, is the only grandparent so far among the group. All of us are very aware, not only of the costs involved with your child attending school, but also the expense attached to ‘extra’ activity, in which we feel all children should participate. We got together to find a way to help parents, especially in this cost of living crisis, and schools, who really feel budget cuts, and their PTAs, for whom fundraising is an ongoing challenge
