Picture this: You’re choosing the perfect gift card for your niece, and in that same moment, you’ve also helped fund a coding class for a child in your local community.
This December, when you buy any gift card through UGiftMe from a MamaCodes class to your favourite high street brand and local brand, you can round up your purchase by just £1, £3, or £5. That small addition goes directly to local schools through LocaeRise’s One Big Change platform.
One purchase. Three partners. Real impact.
The Story Behind the Partnership
We identified this partnership as a way to turn everyday gifting into community support. By coming together we create a seamless way for families to support each other and their local schools, especially in the face of the cost-of-living crisis.
MamaCodes brings giftable coding education. The kind of present that aunties, godparents, and grandparents love because it’s both fun and future-focused. With 79% of future jobs requiring tech skills, digital confidence is the gift that keeps giving.
LocaeRise connects your round-up to real school projects through their award-winning Social Value Engine whether that’s wellbeing initiatives, inclusion programmes, or teacher training.
Our role at UGiftMe is simple: we make this impact accessible. No extra steps. No separate donation page. Just a seamless, built-in way to give back to community while you gift.
How It Works
It’s beautifully simple:
Gift: Choose any gift card through UGiftMe from MamaCodes to your favourite high street and local brands
Round Up: At checkout, tap the “Powered by LocaeRise” button to add £1, £3, or £5.
Impact: LocaeRise matches your contribution to a local school that has applied for One Big Change funding.
If you choose a MamaCodes gift card, you’re giving a child in your life digital skills, and your round-up means another child in your community also gets access to vital learning.
Why this is important
Families are being forced to make tough decisions. Schools are stretching their resources thinner than ever. Communities are trying to support each other on shoestring budgets.
This partnership is our answer.
You don’t have to choose between caring for your own family and supporting your community. You can do both with a single gift card purchase.
Join the Movement
This season, your purchases can do more. They can spark learning. They can uplift a classroom. They can strengthen your community.
