Makaton Taster Workshop in Sparkbrook — Learn to Sign with EDU GIVE

We had a fantastic turnout for our Makaton Taster Workshop, held in Sparkbrook on 5th August!

It was great to see so many people from the local community come together to learn, take part and discover how Makaton can support better communication and inclusion.

📸 We’re sharing some photos from the session so you can see some of the great moments from the day.

🎥 A video from the workshop will also be coming soon, giving those who couldn’t attend the opportunity to watch, learn and benefit from the session too.

A very special thank you to Zahira Signs for delivering the workshop and sharing her knowledge and experience with everyone who attended.

We would also like to thank Shafia for her valuable support in helping with the class and making the event a success.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported another EDU GIVE community event. We hope to continue providing accessible, educational and beneficial opportunities for our local community.

📅 Wednesday 5th August

A special thank you to Councillor Raihaan Abbas for visiting Edu Give CIC.

It was a pleasure to welcome him, show him around our centre, and share the work we are doing to support children, young people, families and the wider community.

We had a positive discussion about our current projects, the needs of local residents and how we can work together to create more opportunities for people in Sparkbrook and the surrounding areas.

Thank you, Councillor Raihaan Abbas, for taking the time to visit, listen and support our vision. We look forward to working together on future community projects.

The outcomes from our Digital Minds Mental Wellbeing Project have been really positive.

Mohena has been leading the project, using creative digital activities as a bridge into important conversations around mental wellbeing.

Through photography, video storytelling, written reflection and group discussions, young people were given a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, identity, confidence and stigma.

The feedback has been really encouraging. Participants valued the safe, non-judgemental environment, the creative delivery style and the opportunity to speak about mental wellbeing in a way that felt culturally familiar and comfortable.

Many young people shared that they felt more confident, less alone and better able to express their feelings through creative tasks.

A special thank you to Birmingham City Council for supporting and funding this project. The turnout has been amazing, and their support has helped make a real difference for the young people involved.

As the students continue to build confidence and feel more comfortable, we hope to share more images and videos from the project, while always respecting their privacy and making sure they feel safe.

A big well done to Mohena and everyone who helped make this project meaningful, impactful and successful.

🎉 A huge thank you to ITVET – Your Trusted Technology Partner!

We are deeply grateful to ITVET for their incredibly generous donation of 23 computers to Edu Give. This kind act will directly impact so many young learners who now have access to the technology they need to grow, explore, and build their futures.

A very special thank you to Becky, whose warm heart and selfless initiative made this all happen. Becky, you are a true champion for education — your kindness has touched our entire community and will ripple forward through every student who sits at one of these computers. We are so lucky to have someone like you in our corner. 💛

At Edu Give, we exist to connect generosity with opportunity — and ITVET has shown what that looks like in the most beautiful way. This donation is more than hardware. It is confidence, curiosity, and a chance for children to dream bigger.

Thank you, ITVET. Thank you, Becky. You have made a real difference. 🙏

"Generosity is not just about giving resources — it's about giving people a future."
