Following the closure of the charity, Team Margot Foundation in December, we have been working towards finding a new “home” for the valuable educational resources Team Margot created, developed and hosted on givingtohelpothers.org
I’m delighted to share the news that NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) have agreed to include some of these resources on their educational platform hub, beginning with an outreach campaign with all primary schools in Brixton, next week.
In a sense, it’s an obvious and natural handover of these resources, given that we initially launched givingtohelpothers.org in partnership with NHSBT back in October 2017.
We are particularly pleased because this shows positive progression by NHSBT towards more primary school education activity.
Aleisha Scott, NHSBT Marketing Manager, said of the forthcoming campaign:
“NHS Blood and Transplant is working in partnership with Lambeth Council and primary schools across Brixton to raise awareness of the impact of blood donation. As part of this work, we are offering schools use of the Team Margot key stage 1 learning resources to further support pupils understanding of donation and to inspire future generations of donors.”
In creating these resources, Team Margot’s intention was that by equipping teachers with engaging, relevant and appropriate resources and also the background information they needed to teach these subjects, we would work towards two of our desired outcomes, namely :
The website, givingtohelpothers.org will close down later this month.
