What is The Reggie Foundation?

The Reggie Foundation began with a small act of kindness—a little bear one of our students, Sophie, crocheted one day. This bear, now affectionately known as Reggie, quickly became a symbol of comfort, love, and support for anyone in need of a smile or a bit of extra care.

Reggie’s warmth spread through our school, and soon we realized we wanted to share that love beyond our classrooms. That’s how The Reggie Foundation was born.

  1. In the first few weeks of a new term, each of our students receive a token worth £1.

  2. This token can be used to support one of three different charities selected by our team.

  3. Reggie then tallies up all the tokens and sends the value to each chosen charity.

Here’s how it works:

For November 2024, we’re excited to spotlight Jack Allen in the Reggie Shop! Jack, one of our talented students, has started his own 3D printing business called *3D Heatwaves*, where he sells amazing printed products online. We asked Jack to create special Reggie keyrings in Reggie’s favorite color—green! We absolutely love how they sparkle in the light, and the silhouette of Reggie looks fantastic.

You can order your own Reggie keyring from the Official Reggie Shop for just £2.50, with all proceeds going to support this term’s chosen charities.

Don’t forget to follow *3D Heatwaves* on social media to see more of Jack’s incredible work!
