30 schools in Harlow, most, if not all are in multi academy trusts of 2 or 3 schools.

One trust released a statement telling her to duck off and they covered 3 schools, leaving 27 schools.

So there is likely only 12 or less academy trusts to contact. 12 calls or emails to make.

But a booking form posted on a group you have to know exists is a great way to go about things.
 
Also the "make the children sell their seedlings to pay for school supplies" would, I imagine, create at least a small headache for the finance team, never mind the ethical squiffiness/minefield around it being a shade away from child labour even if you call it fundraising. And whether it's pedagogically beneficial to have primary school aged kids forming a business and having that pressure when they could (and in my opinion should) be learning to garden for the fun of it BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER ELEVEN.

and let's be honest, the people buying the seedings are in the vast majority going to be the parents. Who are already trying to cover school trips, bake sales, non-uniform days, teacher gifts etc. and now have to pay to buy a leggy old tomato plant, too?

Do schools talk to each other? I assume they do, even if they're not in the same academy trust or whatever, and even now the email distribution list is on fire with "just a heads up, do not get involved."

I have a lot of friends who are primary school teachers. Between them they have worked or currently work across every single academy trust here. They all know teachers at other schools.

No school is going to touch her.
 
A parent may or may not contact their child's school stating they don't want their child participating in her shitshow.

I'm not saying it's something a parent would do, but a parent may want to do anything they can do to ensure their child is not in a situation where they are used as part of her self promotion crap.

A parent could send an email with the YH article highlighting that they aren't comfortable with someone who won't give a simple answer to a simple question being involved with their child's education.

They absolutely do.

I get the feeling that this venture will be scuppered by the Haterz that are Your Harlow + Carly’s ex. Possibly Harlow Council will be involved.

Inside the ice cream van feeding Liverpool's families

Instead of ice creams and lollies, the truck's chillers are stocked with soup, toiletries and vegetables.

Just seen this about another CIC helping feed people through COL. Their claims are a lot more impressive than Carly’s! Of course they don’t do it for free, but there is a quote about how dignity is Important.

Not only has she mismanaged the setting up and running of a CIC but she has the gall to complain about the rules and regulations governing them. She has misled funders by not going through with the allotment on the flimsiest of pretexts. She robbed desperate people of their dignity with the horrid Facebook group used for asking for a food delivery. The schools project is dead on arrival. The grants/donations giving is being handled with exactly the same incompetence and lack of clear application procedure as the food delivery. The whole operation has to pause when she has an appointment. It remains unclear what happened to the £250k people donated. She should be ashamed.

Reading about actually successful set ups just highlights how incompetent she is. She can’t claim it’s a conspiracy against the little guy when the bbc has dozens of stories like the one I linked that work well and actually help people.

She's squandered all the goodwill and publicity she's had. She could have used the good press last year to push her charity/CIC into the local press, get paperwork done ASAP and be almost a year into running it.

Like Monroe she's just a grifting shitehawk and needs holding to account.
 
It's because she is a narcissist and she knows best.

At all points in this whole shitshow anyone else would have reached out to people who know more about these type of things.

She should have known, and was almost certainly told, about what the contract for the allotment would contain.

With a CIC, anyone else would have reached out to an already established CIC for advice. If you all for advice people are usually happy to help.

With the school thing, most people would have approached a school, told them about your idea to bring allotments into schools, tell them you would fund it, and ask them if they are interested, and if they are then what does the school feel would be the best way to implement it if it is possible.

Let the school lead, as they have all of the experience and knowledge of what would be possible in that particular school.

She's out there on social media talking a load of bollocks about what she thinks will make her look like the biggest hero.

Having an allotment in a school is not going to change a child's life, they will not become an entrepreneur or a gardener based on an hour or so a week digging dirt and pulling weeds. They would find it enjoyable and get to see things grow and it would be fun. But it's not going to change lives.

She makes everything about her, even feeding people is about her and not the people, hence all the screenshots to show the world she's a wonderful person.

In my experience, if you bring an idea or a problem to a school, they almost always have a way to do it better and a way to solve a problem that you didn't even know could be done. They are the school experts and you would be insane not to let them lead.

That money will never get to anyone. What's the application procedure? Message me on Facebook hun.

She can't give what she hasn't got

Facebook messenger is the primary application route that all councils use for tenders. It is also used for all ministry of defense contracts.

For submitting an offer on a house you want Instagram, and registering a birth or death is obviously Tik Tok
