CHARITY
Warwick Economics Society proudly supports EduSpots as our main charity partner. This year, we’re continuing our legacy goal to raise £10,000 to fund the creation of community-led libraries in rural Ghana. Through our flagship socials, fundraising campaigns, and society-wide events, we’re committed to empowering education and making a lasting impact.
01
Education
EduSpots is a UK and Ghana-registered charity that connects, trains, and equips over 300 local volunteers to lead educational change through community-run learning centres known as ‘Spots’. They currently support over 50 Spots, reaching more than 15,000 learners across Ghana.
Alongside this, EduSpots runs programmes such as the CLP and PMP, which focus on peer learning and mentorship — empowering young people to become changemakers within their communities. All of this is made possible through grants and charitable donations.
02
Sustainability
Since 2015, EduSpots and their volunteers have established a network of 50 physical education centres across Ghana and Kenya, many of which are solar-powered and built or renovated with local support. Communities typically contribute land, labour, and materials, reinforcing a shared sense of ownership. During the pandemic, these Spots became vital hubs for learning, and the charity now focuses on ensuring each Spot is self-sustaining, reducing long-term reliance on external funding.
03
Community
EduSpots’ greatest resource is its volunteers. Each Spot is led and managed by a local committee made up of educators, traditional and political leaders, students, parents, and other community members. These committees recruit and support volunteer teams, who are connected through WhatsApp groups, training conferences, and online programmes. This culture of volunteerism inspires students to get involved themselves, creating a ripple effect of local leadership. On the ground, EduSpots operates less like a charity - and more like a grassroots movement for community-led change.

FUNDRAISING IN ACTION
Throughout the 2024/25 academic year, we’ve run a variety of charity events - many centred around our signature socials - with all proceeds contributing to our ongoing £10,000 pledge to EduSpots.
COLLABORATIONS WITH WARWICK RAG
Warwick RAG (Raising and Giving) is the university’s largest charity-focused society, dedicated to supporting meaningful causes and giving back to the community. In 2023 alone, Warwick students helped raise over £40,000 through RAG-led initiatives. Over the past year, we’ve proudly collaborated with RAG on a range of impactful fundraising events.
Charity
Warwick Economics Society's main Charity is Eduspots. This year we have pledged to continue our legacy goal to raise £10,000 for the charity to fund the construction of libraries in Ghana. We aim to raise money throughout the year through our socials and other events for Eduspots.
01
Education
Eduspots connect, train, and equip over 300 local volunteers who are keen to drive community-led change through education centres named ‘Spots’. They are a Ghana national registered NGO and a UK registered charity. They currently have over 50 Education spots with over 15,000 learners who use and rely on these spots. Additionally they have a wide array of programmes such as the CLP and PMP programmes which revolve around peer and mentorship schemes all of which are funded through grants and donations.
02
Sustainability
Since 2015, together, they have created a network of 50 physical Spots or libraries in Ghana and Kenya, most of which we built or renovated, and many of which are solar-powered. Communities also typically donate labour, land and resources to the construction process. During the pandemic, these education spaces have often been a key source of learning and educational resources in our communities. Furthermore they have adapted to a strategy where their spots become self-sustaining in the long run and not dependent on continuous funding.
03
Community
Their greatest resource, however, is their volunteers. The Spots are led and owned by community committees comprising local educational leaders, traditional leaders, political leaders, teachers, students, parents and wider community members. These committees build local volunteer teams, whom they connect centrally via WhatsApp, conferences and online programmes. Students start to echo the volunteerism they benefit from and see role modelled. On the ground, EduSpots feels like a movement for community-led change.
