Room for One More, a new campaign from McCann to fund after school clubs

“The ‘Room for One More’ campaign is truly life-changing for a child and their family.”

Every day across the UK, a child misses out — on play, support, and a safe space to unwind and grow after school.

Room for One More is a McCann national campaign to change this. We fund a free place, every school day, at an after-school club for a child who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.

That means:

• A safe space after the school bell rings.
• A nourishing meal.
• Creative, social and physical activities.
• A caring adult who knows and supports them.
• And time away from screens, worries, or unsafe environments.

We’re starting strong, with our first partner school, Belmore Primary Academy located within the London Borough of Hillingdon.

“Having an extra funded place by McCann means that a child, every day, gets to benefit from our after-school club. That means they have a place to go where they have a trusted relationship with an adult who knows and understands them, they have time to be away from a screen, to engage in creative and sports activities which strengthens their physical and mental health. The initiative also ensures that they have a healthy dinner and time to chat through their day. These things can’t be underappreciated.”

“For our families, it means that a parent can return to work without worrying about childcare, that they can look after younger or needier siblings knowing their child is safe and engaged in fun activities or that they aren’t out with people they don’t know or at places unsuitable for primary age children. The ‘Room for One More’ campaign is truly life-changing for a child and family. Thank you!” — Rose Taunt, Head Teacher at Belmore Primary Academy

As we grow, our social value goal is to fund a place in every community where McCann works across the UK.

Together, we can make room for one more.
