šŸ¤ Donation & Social Impact Transparency Policy

Last updated: 11/07/2025

At Mindful Sprouts CIC, we believe every child deserves access to inspiring, educational resources regardless of background, location, or income.

As a registered Community Interest Company (CIC No. 15235021), we operate with a social mission at our core. This policy explains how your purchases and donations directly contribute to our impact in underserved communities.

šŸŒ± Our Commitment: “Buy One, Donate One”

For every book purchased on our website, we donate one copy to a child, family, or school in need.

This is not a promotional campaign; it’s a core part of our operational model and our commitment to educational equity.

šŸŽÆ Who Receives Donated Books?

We prioritise schools and communities experiencing disadvantage, including but not limited to:

  • Primary schools in high-deprivation areas (Free School Meals eligibility 40%+)
  • Charities supporting refugee, asylum-seeking, or marginalised children
  • Local authority services, food banks, or family support teams
  • Children’s hospitals or care homes where literacy support is essential

Donations are tracked and reviewed to ensure books are distributed ethically, fairly, and where they’ll have the most significant impact.

šŸ“¦ How Are Donations Funded and Delivered?

  • Each paid sale automatically funds the printing and delivery of one donated copy.
  • Donated books are either:
    • Delivered directly to partner schools or organisations
    • Given in person at events, workshops, or outreach programmes
  • We do not deduct donations for administrative costs. Book production and postage are prioritised.

šŸ” Transparency & Reporting

We aim to be transparent about where donations go. You’ll find updates on our:

  • Impact blog
  • Social media channels
  • Newsletters

Reports include:

  • Number of books donated
  • Schools or areas supported
  • Feedback from recipients (where available)

We also file annual reports with the CIC Regulator, which are publicly available via Companies House.

šŸ’– How Else Can You Support?

  • Purchase more booksā€”each one unlocks another donation.
  • Make a direct financial contribution (via our donation page).
  • Partner with us as a sponsor, co-creator, or community ally.

To discuss a partnership or donation initiative, contact us at [email protected].

šŸ” Our Promise

Mindful Sprouts CIC is not driven by profitā€”we are driven by impact, inclusion, and imagination. Thank you for helping us bring joy, learning, and opportunity to children who need it most.

Together, we’re planting seeds of possibility.
