TopUp Education LTD is a small local tuition company in LBHF founded and run by two working qualified teachers. We, Zainab and Michelle, run affordable and accessible Saturday morning supplementary classes for ages 7-16, in English and Maths, at Fulham Boys School. Our focus is offering lessons to disadvantaged students across LBHF and triborough. We passionately believe that education is the key to social mobility and that all students, with the right support and guidance, can achieve academic success.
All our lessons are planned and delivered by qualified teachers and mapped to the National Curriculum. We make sure that everyone who supports us at TopUp Education is equally passionate about education and we all care and work incredibly hard to deliver great lessons for all our students. We work on developing our student’s confidence and resilience and we aim to build independent learners who develop a self-belief in their own academic ability. TopUp have a wealth of parent testimonials, which prove that students who attend classes make outstanding progress, with a 100% success rate at improving GCSE grades. We want to reach as many students as possible and improve the lives and education of young people.
We would welcome opportunities to discuss TopUp Education with any potential sponsors or local companies who would be willing to help us achieve our aim of securing academic success for all children irrespective of social class, gender, race, or learning need.
We also offer volunteering opportunities for young people and adults who would like to support young people. All staff who volunteer with us need a current enhanced DBS check or be willing to apply for a check.

The Kiln have allocated £10 tickets for Peanut Butter & Blueberries, a love story between two practicing Muslims who like being Muslim.
A love story unlike any you’ve seen before:
Hafsah and Bilal are not looking for love. She has her faith, her books, her dreams. Bilal…well he’s just trying to get through uni. Studying in London, far from their hometowns of Bradford and Birmingham, they find common ground over a peanut butter and blueberry sandwich. Just as their connection is growing, the past and social realities become harder to ignore. Between opportunities, obligations and injustices, will they be able to choose each other? In her debut play, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan explores how to love when the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
The £10 tickets are for performances on the following dates: Thu 8, Fri 9, Sat 10, Mon 12 & Tue 13 August at 7pm.
You can also get £15 tickets for all performances dates: Wed 15 to Sat 31 August.

Programme overview:
After two highly successful initiatives in Regent Street in 2022 and Carnaby Street in 2023, the programme returns for a third year!
Participants will take part in a two-week classroom-based creative business training course, followed by the opportunity to build and trade as a collective in their own pop-up shop in a central London location where they will showcase their work in a renowned shopping destination, meet customers from all over the world, help deliver engaging events and immersive in-store experiences and more.
Being part of a group of creatives will offer the opportunity to learn from others and form valuable connections for future collaborations and business development.
Who can take part:
The programme typically supports between 10 to 15 artists and creative businesses each year. Some of these can be a collective of artists trading under a single representative banner and led by one to three artists.
We are keen to feature a wide range of specialisms and disciplines, and showcase makers, artists and creatives who represent London’s vibrant and diverse arts and cultural sector.
We particularly encourage applications from communities who have been historically underrepresented in the creative industries. This includes Black, Asian and minority ethnic, Deaf and disabled people, LBGTQIA+, women, and low-income groups.
To be eligible to take part, you must:
•
Live or work in one of London’s 12 Creative Enterprise Zones. You can find out which Creative Enterprise Zone you’re in by using the postcode checker at the bottom of this webpage:
