There are moments in your career that remind you why you do what you do. For me, seeing the impact of My School Fund (My School fund – Leading a High-Stakes Project on a Tight Budget and Timeline)—a project I had the privilege of leading the team—has been one of those moments. Leading the engineering team behind My School Fund was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my career. It wasn’t just another project—it was a mission to support schools and families by turning everyday spending into meaningful rewards. But knowing that this initiative is making a tangible difference in our community, especially in our schools, fills me with immense pride and satisfaction.
Since launching in 2021, My School Fund has given over £100,000 in rewards to schools! That’s real money going directly to support education, resources, and opportunities for students.
But it’s not just schools benefiting—over £200,000 in cashback rewards has been given to individuals who signed up for the scheme. Just by shopping at participating retailers, parents and carers are saving money for themselves while also supporting their children’s schools. These numbers aren’t just statistics; they represent the collective effort of parents, schools, and our team to create a positive impact. Every pound earned through My School Fund is a step toward a brighter future for our children and our community.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible team behind My School Fund. From the engineers who built the platform to the stakeholders who supported its rollout, every individual played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life. The trust, collaboration, and dedication of the team were the driving forces behind the project’s success.
If you haven’t already, I encourage you to join My School Fund. Whether you’re a parent or a school, your participation can make a difference. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to invest in education—one purchase at a time.
