A Mere company is funding the start-up costs for a new special educational needs teacher.

Furniturebox UK is helping national charity Field Lane employ its first SEN teacher after a tumultuous year for people in education. The move is part of their ongoing commitment to give back to the community. Field Lane offers a combination of care, accommodation, and support for adults with learning disabilities.

The incredible work they do is very close to Furniturebox UK’s hearts, says founder Dan Beckles.

He added: “The ongoing coronavirus crisis has devastated all of us, especially our more vulnerable members of society. Many of Field Lane’s clients have had their vital education and life-skills development interrupted by the lockdowns.
Those that usually attend colleges or day centres haven’t been able to. Employing an SEN teacher will let these educational services still reach those who really benefit from them.”

Montague George and Dan Beckles launched Furniturebox in 2015 at the age of 18, aiming to provide beautiful, quality furniture to homes across the UK for reasonable prices.
They’ve built a thriving and growing business up from the ground, going from doing it all themselves to now managing a team of 32.
