Social Responsibility



10ticks CSR

Here at 10ticks, we bring together expertise, ingenuity and passion to help children truly excel in maths. Although we are small in size we endeavour to support the community as much as we can. Our business is all about helping and encouraging children to develop educationally through our worksheets and website.

Rather than taking a broad-brush approach at 10ticks, we've chosen to focus on some key areas, and our CSR emphasis is therefore on employee well-being and investment in the local community. Our basic principles are that our suppliers and employees must be treated fairly and our customers must be served to the highest standards. We also wish to give something back to the communities that have supported the creation of what is now a thriving business.

We take our commitment to ethical and socially responsible standards in business extremely seriously.

10ticks are always looking for further opportunities to invest in the community. Help us determine where to focus our future social responsibility efforts going forward. Send your input to our Head of Business Development, Ben Pearce at [email protected]

Football Shirts

With the help of the Bolton News, 10ticks reached out to local primary schools by announcing a football shirt deal.

Ian Fisher, the founder and owner of 10ticks.co.uk, won the "e-business of the Year" award at the prestigious North Manchester Business Awards and with it came with a cheque for £2,000.

Ian decided to invest in the community by using the cash to buy 31 sets of football shirts, which he gave away, to junior schools in Bolton. "It was a way of giving something back. We had budgeted for development, so the money was a bonus we had not expected”

Hospital Schools

10ticks would like to help minimise the disruption to children and young people’s education when in hospital, whilst helping academic progress and maintaining an interest in learning. With this in mind we here at 10ticks offer our School Learning System, including our entire collection of maths resources, to all hospital schools for 2 years completely free of charge.

Our Online Maths School Learning System can provide a bespoke course of learning, helping each child to feel valued, nurtured and respected, and to achieve their full potential in maths.

If you are a hospital school and have not yet received your 2 years access, please contact [email protected]

South African Free Textbooks

Learners at Bhukulani Secondary School in Zondi, Soweto were excited to to receive 900 free 10Ticks Maths workbooks as a gift from Heinemann Publishers. Bhukulani Secondary School was chosen for its consistently good Matric results.

The study aids are part of the popular 10Ticks Maths workbooks series and are available from Grade 1 to Grade 12. The 10Ticks Maths and Maths Literacy workbooks will come in handy for learners before they write examinations.

Ian Fisher of 10Ticks in the United Kingdom said, “I want children in Soweto to enjoy Mathematics and be successful in whatever they want to become."

Grade 10 learner, Thobile Mazibuku (16) thinks that the 10Ticks Maths Grade 10 workbook will help her a lot. “What I like about this book is that it has examples and solutions,” said Thobile.

The principal of Bhukulani Secondary School, Dr. Mduduzi Mathe, thanked Heinemann for selecting his school to launch the 10Ticks Maths workbook series.

Boffin Squad

10ticks have created a free website www.boffinsquad.co.uk to engage with young people in constructive educational activities while promoting socially responsible behaviour. The characters featured on Boffin Squad are based around the Multiple Intelligence theory, whereby they each in excel in one ‘intelligence’, but can still use aspects of one or two other intelligences from their extensive personalities.

Dr Howard Gardner, a Harvard Psychologist and Professor of Education, has demonstrated through his extensive research how we should not judge others according to the 3 narrow definitions of intelligence. We all have 5 primary senses and three of these are mainly used for learning. 34% of people have auditory preferences, 37% of people have a kinaesthetic (touch) preference and 29% of people have a visual preference. It is important to know with a learner which is their best learning style to maximise the learning process. The best approach is a combination.

An individual may excel in one, two or even three of these of these Intelligences, but nobody is good at them all. Equally the same rule applies to a child prodigy or mentally/physically disadvantaged person. A brain damaged child could have a severely impaired use of language, but be able to paint or play music magnificently.
