The sponsor a class pilot scheme has been tested during 2008 and has resulted in the sponsorship of more than 500 school children with the High Visibility Kit developed by Safe Light.
The programme aims to protect school children on the roads in the UK by finding sponsors to 'sponsor a class'. The typical cost of this is around £360.oo including VAT and delivery. Most organisations are able to reclaim the cost of the excercise. The reasoning behind the sponsorship programme was to allow school children to be more protected in an ever increasing environment of reckless driving, without the cost burden to parents or schools who may not otherwise be able to afford it.
Even in these times of economic downturn it is good to see people supporting this programme and the public backing is predicted to grow during 2009.
It is expected that sponsor a class will develop into an independent charity during 2009 as the programme spreads across the United Kingdom.
