People may ask why there should be a charity specifically for teachers, but we here at Teacher Support Network know there is increasing demand for support, particularly for our counselling and grants services.
It is nearing the end of the school year, which poses some problems for supply staff who may be on short-term or temporary contracts that may be coming to an end. This can cause huge financial uncertainty over the summer months and last year we saw a peak in grants applications in June and July.
Demand for financial support is growing and our charity is working hard to keep up. Last year we issued a total of 450 grants totalling £175,000, compared to 300 grants worth £147,000 in 2013. This was a monetary increase of 19 per cent and a case rise of 50 per cent.
