How we use funding

Supporting settings to get the best for the children in their care

We can’t promise to wave a magic wand, but we do our best to hunt for useful funding resources and subsidies that help practitioners reach more children.

Our previous funded projects have allowed us to better support families during the COVID-19 pandemic and to reach settings in disadvantaged areas. We also use these projects to bolster our research portfolio, further evidencing the amazing impact Tales Toolkit can have on children.

We're always hunting for projects that will help us reach new demographics. At the moment, we're particularly keen to reach refugee camps, so get in touch if you can help us reach more children.
