S2S Group Pledges ‘Earn While You Learn’ Support to South Yorkshire Charity
About the ‘Earn While You Learn’ Incentive
S2S Group has committed to supporting a local charity, YWCA Yorkshire, with their innovative ‘Earn While You Learn’ initiative. This pledge is aimed at transforming the lives of women and families in South Yorkshire by boosting engagement in the charity’s skills and training programs.
Over the past two years, S2S Group has contributed volunteers, funds, and gifts to YWCA Yorkshire. This year, the focus is on the Green Gables ‘Earn While You Learn’ initiative. Sponsored by S2S Group, this program rewards young parents who engage in National Open College Network modules with technology, household, and personal items.
The goal is to encourage participation in life-skills training, thereby improving opportunities, career prospects, and study prospects for 78 families in Doncaster. In addition to rewards, S2S Group is providing technology equipment to aid the learning journey.
About YWCA
YWCA Yorkshire works in partnership with various services across the region, including health, wellbeing, housing, skills, and training services. Operating support and accommodation hubs in Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield, the charity aims to create a better future for women, children, and families – a mission that resonates deeply with S2S Group.
S2S Group is dedicated to having a positive environmental impact, and they also have a strong culture of charitable activity, with a central commitment to supporting the health and well-being of local communities..
Rachel Hall, S2S Group’s Chief Operating Officer, stated:
“We are absolutely delighted to continue our support of this vital charity. YWCA Yorkshire provides accommodation and specialist services to people fleeing domestic abuse, those who have experienced homelessness and financial hardship, and young parents without support from extended family or friends. These vulnerable individuals need expert support and compassion to rebuild their lives. If we can help with that, then we absolutely will.”
S2S Group’s Support to YWCA
S2S Group has supported YWCA Yorkshire in various ways. They have organised a food bank campaign and donated food, clothes, and hygiene products to the Green Gables site. During celebrations, S2S Group’s staff members have wrapped gifts for the women and children staying at the Green Gables site. Donations of smartphones, laptops, and monitors have improved communication for charity workers and volunteers. Furniture and signage donations have transformed the newly built wellbeing hub used for support and training. Recently, to launch the ‘Earn While You Learn’ initiative, S2S Group donated four air fryers and wellbeing packs to Green Gables.
Janine Egan, Green Gables Project Manager at YWCA Yorkshire, said:
“The relationship we’ve built with S2S Group is really powerful. They understand the challenging circumstances families face and the importance of investing in their health, wellbeing, and skills-training. We’re so grateful for S2S Group’s support and thank the entire team from everyone here at YWCA Yorkshire.”
