Supporting SEND and Families Beyond the Classroom

At Axcis, our role as a specialist SEND teaching agency extends far beyond recruitment. While we excel at connecting schools with exceptional teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff for vulnerable children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, we understand that transformative education requires community-wide support.

Every year, our teams unite behind a charity that champions the SEND community and creates lasting change. For the academic year 25/26, we've chosen Family Fund, the UK's largest charity dedicated to providing essential grants to families raising disabled or seriously ill children.

Why Axcis Fundraises

Fundraising represents more than charitable giving for our teaching agency; it embodies our commitment to comprehensive support for the SEND community. When our education consultants and staff collaborate on fundraising initiatives, they're extending the same dedication they bring to placing qualified professionals in schools.

These efforts create opportunities for creativity, team building, and meaningful impact. From sponsored challenges like marathons and bake sales to office competitions and themed events, every initiative reinforces our understanding that supporting children with additional needs requires a village. Our fundraising activities generate awareness alongside donations, amplifying the message that every child deserves comprehensive support both in educational settings and at home.

Why Family Fund Aligns With Our Mission

Family Fund transforms lives through targeted grants that address real family needs. Their annual distribution of grants helps low-income families access essentials many take for granted, from adaptive equipment and sensory toys to family breaks and household appliances that ease daily challenges.

For families managing the complexities of disability or serious illness, these grants provide more than financial relief. They create breathing space and enable parents to focus energy on nurturing their children rather than constantly worrying about unmet needs.

As a SEND teaching agency, we witness daily the extraordinary strength of families navigating additional challenges. Partnering with Family Fund allows us to extend our support network beyond classroom walls, reaching families in their homes where so much crucial development and care happens.

Fundraising the Axcis Way

Our multi-office approach to fundraising reflects the diversity and creativity of our team. Regional teams develop unique campaigns that resonate with their local communities while contributing to our national goal. Whether through endurance challenges, culinary competitions, or workplace games, our consultants apply the same problem-solving skills they use in recruitment to generate funds and engagement.

Throughout 2025, we'll share these varied efforts on our social media, celebrating both ambitious individual challenges and collaborative team projects, so keep a look out on our socials for developments. This approach ensures every team member can contribute meaningfully while building the camaraderie that strengthens our service to schools and candidates.

Amplifying Impact Through Partnership

While our internal teams drive the fundraising momentum, we welcome broader community support through our dedicated JustGiving platform. Every contribution goes directly to Family Fund, and Axcis commits to doubling the total amount raised by our staff and supporters.
This matching commitment demonstrates our serious investment in creating change. When combined with widespread participation, these funds will enable Family Fund to reach more families and provide increasingly comprehensive support across the UK.

Making a Difference Together

Our partnership with Family Fund reflects Axcis's core belief that sustainable change happens through collaboration. Just as we work alongside our long-standing corporate sponsor, nasen and schools to identify and place the right educational professionals, we're joining forces with Family Fund to strengthen the entire support ecosystem surrounding children with additional needs.

Whether you engage with our campaign updates, participate in local fundraising events, or contribute through our online platform, you're helping create opportunities for children and families who face extraordinary daily challenges.

This initiative reinforces why Axcis remains a leading SEND teaching agency. We understand that exceptional education happens when children receive comprehensive support from skilled professionals, engaged families, and connected communities working in harmony.
