LocaeRise

LocaeRise is the UK’s first e-commerce platform where everyday purchases help fund improvement programs in schools—without relying on overstretched budgets. Backed by Innovate UK, Barclays Product Builder, and the NatWest Accelerator, we empower parents, teachers, and local communities to support school omprovement through something as simple as buying tissues, wipes, and other essentials. At LocaeRise, we believe that every small choice can create a big, lasting impact. That's why we're building the Community Bank for Education – a purpose-driven marketplace where everyday spending helps schools thrive, students succeed, and communities grow stronger. What We're Building: Seed and Sustain S.C.H.O.O.L System™ – A comprehensive framework to help schools identify their One Big Change – the small but powerful shift that can transform their funding outlook and strengthen their impact. Find, Fund, Flourish – Our approach helps schools Find their One Big Change TM, Fund their goals through innovative, purpose-driven commerce, and Flourish with sustainable, long-term success.
