Built in collaboration with global leaders in philanthropy and childhood education, SuperKind is an award-winning platform for schools that helps integrate active citizenship and philanthropy into their classrooms and the broader curriculum. At Surrey Square Primary, a
large academy school in south east London, headteacher Matt Morden explains how they use SuperKind to drive change and advocate for social action in their community.

lesson plans, presentations and assemblies. It also includes inspirational stories from other young change-makers, a directory of charities pupils can choose to support, and toolkits that contain ideas for actions eco-clubs and school councils can take.
