So far all costs incurred in running the Owlbut's World of Learning website have been covered by Richard Rowland. He doesn't, and never will, take a salary for any of the work he does. Furthermore he, or earlier supporters, have provided all the equipment that we need to carry out our tasks. We don't use outside firms to do things, we edit the videos ourselves, we code the website ourselves.

However our new School of the Air venture has additional costs that Richard will be unable to meet. There will be a lot of locational filming. Molly is nowhere near her pension age and needs a salary although we have set it at no more than the current minimum wage. It would be impossible to carry out the School of the Air and achieve our aims without her. She has superb specialist knowledge and is an invaluable extra pair of hands when we are on locational filming. Neither of us, therefore, are seeking to make any money from this venture.

If after reading the above you agree with the need for our School of the Air we hope you might feel able to help in some way. As we say, the government estimate that 175,000 children in England were electively home educated at some point during the 2024/25 academic year. To provide our resource would need about 25p a year for each of those children. Yes, read that again. Please help this project go ahead and make sure those children do not miss out on their learning opportunities.
