HE UK needs your support

A small favour…

founded in January 2000, HE UK is the oldest website supporting home educators in the UK. It has around 275 thousand unique visitors looking for information logging 4 million hits a year. With over 220 pages it's also the largest. It operates from the basis of internationally recognised human rights and UK law.

Running this site and dealing with all the enquiries I receive, has become a full time effort. The logistics, including (among other things) specialist software, hosting and fast fibre links, necessary to run HE UK comes to around £1,000 a year.

Please consider the time and effort it took to research, verify, collate, write, code and upload all this information, along with the cost of maintaining a web site that carries so much data. Think also that I too have bills to pay.

So, if you found this site useful, if it went some way towards helping you, please consider a small pay pal contribution. Even a micro payment of just £1 would at least show your appreciation.

If you do decide to assist in this valuable work, keeping this web site live:

please send a small payment, using pay pal to mike@home-education.org.uk

Thank you for reading this and considering sharing in my work.
