Brexit and inequality in the UK The research will increase our impact and range of our in -house research as this research will be done by the market insights team and shared internally across Campaigns, Policy and Influencing Team (CPIT) and other divisions.  It may also achieve external impact depending on the findings, and this impact can influence positively for our campaigns and policy positions.  This is a new area of work because previously those who voted to leave didn't exist and were seen as a minority in the country.  It is supporting increased impact of advocacy because we will be able to tailor our messages to reach this target group and to support our ability to shift the popular narratives to be more in favour with Oxfam's views.  It will increase knowledge and learning and sharing because we will learn more about this group of people and their thoughts on inequality, how to best reach them in terms of messages and practical/programme support, and how to use this messaging to influence decision makers, and so we will also be sharing that knowledge.

Robin Hood Tax UK Campaign There is currently global momentum for a tax on the financial sector. A substantial tax on the banks must be seen as a vital part of rebalancing the relationship between society and the financial sector and creating a fairer society  - we must continue to push home the link between taxing the banks and fighting poverty. It cannot be seen as enough to simply tax the banks, it must be recognised that the tax needs to raise hundreds of billions every year and be spent helping the poor at home and abroad.

Oxfam World Shapers - membership We aspire to register 40 schools during the next academic year (2014 -15). Our vision is that, as the project develops over the next five years, it will reach many more. However, in order to set realistic long -term goals we first need to gather the learning from this second phase.  In this second phase, therefore, we will be testing:  • The scalability of this model  • Schools' willingness to pay for support, our pricing structure and the financial sustainability of the model  • The level of demand generated by DFID's Global Learning Programme
Education and Youth resources funded by the People's Postcode Lottery Funding of GBP161,000 from the People's Postcode Lottery will support the work of our Education and Youth team.

Even it up!  - Oxfam is creating a cross -curricular resource, Even It Up!  for 11 -14 year olds in partnership with Young Lives, to be published in October 2015.  The lessons will be based on data and interviews gathered by Young Lives, an international research project into the causes and consequences of children's poverty and will explore issues of inequality. The project has been following the lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam over 15 years.  The whole resource will consist of:  two introductory lessons, six geography lessons. six maths lessons, six English lessons, Reflection.  We also plan to produce a special set of these resources designed to support teaching and learning with students who have special educational needs.

Youth Ambassadors  - For a brighter tomorrow, young people must speak up against poverty, and for a fairer and more just society.  To this
Duffryn Nurture Project This proposal seeks to provide revenue funding to support a short fall in on -going revenue costs for the ‘nurture' project that operates in the Infant and Junior schools in Duffryn, Newport. The project has delivered direct and clear outcomes on education, inter -personal behaviour and emotion management for over 220 children over the past 10 years, as well as providing an access point for intervention with 24 families. The built up knowledge and track record of this amazing programme risks being lost, as well as the immediate removal of benefits for current participants.

A CPAG researcher will analyse the case notes from the first year of operation of this project, and also interview five foodbank users to build up a more qualitative picture of their situation. This qualitative work will be repeated in five other foodbanks across England (including rural and urban, north and south, ethnically diverse and monocultural), and the two strands of research written up to provide a single report.

Global Learning Programme (England) Extension This project is an extension of CPNA81, linked to the Global Learning Programme (GLP) in England (for which Oxfam was a consortium partner).   The GLP is a five -year programme running from 2013–2018. It aimed to support teachers to deliver effective teaching and learning about development and global issues at Key Stages 2 and 3 (pupils aged 8 to 14). The premise is that teachers who are more confident and able in global learning will adapt their teaching to incorporate global themes, and encourage whole -school change. This in turn will lead to enhanced global learning outcomes for pupils.   The GLP uses a network model to engage schools, where Expert Centres act as hubs to recruit and support teachers in local Partner Schools. The programme has a revised target to reach 7,500 schools (over the five years), a third of the schools in England. Teachers will receive training through attending twilight sessions in their clusters. Schools can also access funding for Continuous Professional Development (CPD) through accredited providers.   DEVA54 covers an extension period of activities taking place from the end of March to the end of July 2018. A payment schedule outlining the planned activities by Oxfam (and associated costs) is attached.
