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.

Sustainability 

Sugarcane Seller

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.
