In the charity's own words
Rekindle is a unique supplementary school.It is primarily led by young people who helped design a school they know their peers need. Set to open its doors in March 2022, it will be for students from working class communities, for students no one really expects to adore education, for students who the regular system fails, rather than feeds.
