Sarah Laughton takes a look at the need for teachers in delivering universal education

11 August 2014

Sarah Laughton of our Macclesfield group, who joined RESULTS for two days work experience, wrote this blog on the issue of teacher shortages in sub-Saharan Africa.

Sabrina's Footsteps for Futures: Inspired by Sylvia

5 August 2014

Millions of children do not receive the education they deserve. For some this is because there are simply no schools for them to attend, but for many, schools do exist and there are other factors that prevent children from learning.

RESULTS UK offers its deepest sympathy to the friends and families of all those whose lives were lost in the MH17 crash. Our director, Aaron Oxley, remembers and honours the life and work of Glenn Thomas, a longstanding friend of RESULTS.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a week since the shooting down of flight MH17 above Ukraine. There are almost no words to fully express the senseless loss of those 298 people. Among those on the airplane was...
