Who is Goodsted?
Goodsted's vision is to empower collaboration for social and environmental progress. We are a platform that connects individuals who want to share/volunteer their skills & expertise with non-profits and impact organisations.

With this post, we're looking to reach out to individuals interested in volunteering and grow our volunteer community.
Which organisation will you be supporting?
Raising Black Achievement was founded to counter the decades-old issue of Black student underachievement in UK schools. Their efforts raise the academic attainment of African, Caribbean & Mixed Heritage students by resourcing parents, training teachers and advising headteachers and school governors.
What do they want to achieve?
With the hope to place their Black History resource in every school in the boroughs of London, they are aiming to get 1,500 crowdfunding supporters. After addressing London boroughs with 'the greatest need', they want to address similar areas across England including Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield.
What do they need help with?
They are looking for support in launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise the cultural-esteem (and the academic attainment) of African, Caribbean & Mixed Heritage School Students.
How will this help?
Your help will be directly funding the organization to provide resources to schools to empower their staff to add Black History to the curriculum.
