Mr Gillman Tuition CIC was established to provide funded educational support to children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who would not otherwise be able to access tuition. During the financial year ending 31 March 2026, the company has focused on establishing its structure, governance and operational model in preparation for trading. This has included developing its funding model, application and triage processes for allocating funded places, and establishing partnerships with local stakeholders, including community organisations and businesses. The CIC operates alongside a separate commercial entity, Mr Gillman Tuition, which delivers tuition services. The role of the CIC is to raise funds through community support, local business sponsorship and fundraising initiatives, and to use these funds to provide access to tuition delivered by the commercial business. This reduces financial barriers to education for those most in need. Although the CIC has not yet commenced full trading activity within this reporting period, it has undertaken significant preparatory work to enable delivery from the next financial year. This includes developing marketing materials, outreach strategies, and funding mechanisms to support eligible families. The company expects to begin actively funding and allocating tuition places during the next financial year, with the objective of improving educational outcomes, increasing confidence, and supporting engagement in learning among disadvantaged young people in the local community.

Mr Gillman Tuition CIC has engaged informally with a range of stakeholders during its development phase. These stakeholders include parents of school-aged children, teaching staff and tutors within Mr Gillman Tuition, and members of the local community, including business owners and Rotary groups. Feedback gathered through these discussions has highlighted key barriers to accessing tuition, particularly cost, lack of confidence, and limited availability of suitable support for students with additional needs. In response to this feedback, the CIC has developed a funding model designed to remove financial barriers, alongside a structured application and triage process to ensure support is allocated to those most in need. The company has also prioritised the development of provisions that support both academic progress and confidence, including small-group tuition, 1:1 support, and the Learning Centre model. Engagement with local businesses and community organisations has also informed the company’s fundraising approach, with a focus on creating clear, transparent sponsorship options. The company will continue to engage with stakeholders as it begins trading, ensuring that its services remain responsive to the needs of the community it serves.
