Smart Education
Social Value, Charity & Community

At Smart Education, we believe in more than just providing exceptional educational staff to support schools and Local Authorities. We understand the importance of adding value to the local community, giving back, and creating positive change wherever possible. Social value is at the core of what we do, and supporting local causes, charities, and events is an essential part of our mission.


Our Partnerships

Here are a few of the incredible organisations we are proud to sponsor and support:


Sponsored Breaks

We proudly sponsor Sponsored Breaks, a fantastic local social enterprise that supports individuals in need of a well-deserved break. Sponsored Breaks provide much needed holidays and respite breaks for deserving veterans and families in our local community. The gifted breaks offer a vital chance to rest, recharge and create lasting memories together. The work of Sponsored Breaks reminds us that social value is about people. Beyond the holidays, they are strengthening communities and building brighter futures.

Sponsored Breaks makes dreams of a relaxing, rejuvenating escape a reality. We are honoured to be part of their mission to offer solace, relaxation, and renewal to those who truly need it.

Annual School Competitions

In addition to our charity partnerships, Smart Education is proud to host regular competitions for local schools as part of our commitment to encouraging creativity, education, and community spirit. One of our most popular events is our Annual Calendar Design Competition, where children from local schools submit their artwork for each month of the year.

The winning designs are turned into a beautiful desk calendar, which is then shared with our clients as a thank you for their continued support. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate local talent, while also giving back to the community.

The winning students receive exciting vouchers, and we make a charitable donation to their school to support further educational resources or activities. It’s an initiative we look forward to each year, and we are always amazed by the incredible talent displayed by local children.


Why Social Value Matters to Us

At Smart Education, we recognise that social value goes beyond just monetary contributions. It’s about building meaningful relationships, encouraging local development, and creating opportunities for growth and success within our community.

Giving back isn’t just a part of our business strategy, it’s a part of who we are.

We are proud to lead by example and inspire other businesses to get involved in community initiatives, helping to create a ripple effect of positivity and support for those who need it most.

We are proud to play a small part in making a big difference.
