We were successful in registering "Educationista Foundation" as a CIO with the Charity Commission.

We'd like to invite any home-educator who is interested in joining in activities or getting involved in the charity itself, to join the facebook group for it, which is here:
facebook.com/groups/EducationistaFoundation.

However, the charity is separate from this website.
(It just uses this website for bookings for ease and because it time-stamps the bookings, which may be necessary for over-subscribed events)

Payment for events must be made directly to the organiser.
Their PayPal/payment details will be detailed on the event.
If the organiser requests a bank payment (this will be clear on the event itself), then you may request them by email if they are not already known to you.

You are NOT be able to pay via the website PayPal as some of you may have done previously – this is because this attracts PayPal fees which cannot be passed on (following legislation that comes into effect from January 2018).

Your space(s) are not confirmed until payment has been received.

Thank you for visiting! Please put your feet up and make yourself at home.

This website shares educational places to go, things to do and reviews of educational trips.

Search through the directory's growing list of places to go and resources. - all categorised by subject area and age-range.

(Please remember - You must be registered (it's free) on the site and logged in, in order to actually book.)

Inclusion of an event on this website is NOT an endorsement of it. This is a booking website (and particularly in the case of home-education events, this website does NOT seek to replace local or national support groups)

The individual organiser is responsible for their own event.
The organiser's name appears on their events so you can identify whose event it is.

If payment is taken through the website, this will unavoidably incur PayPal fees. Therefore please pay the organiser direct if at all possible.
