Children’s online gift service timto has created a new service for pupils and their
parents to thank their teacher at the end of term and generate income for charities
and parent teacher associations (PTAs).

 

Timto aims to move beyond the standard end of term gifts such as flowers, wine and
chocolates by letting parents and children create a collective online ‘thank you
page’ through which pupils can contribute towards a joint gift. In addition a proportion
of the money will be donated to the school PTA or a charity.

Sandra Taylor of Teachers Support Network said: “The timto teachers service is a
wonderful idea. Whilst our teachers appreciate the gifts given to them by their 
pupils, there is inevitably a lot of waste and often an element of competition among
parents associated. This way, not only does the teacher receive a meaningful gift
but the school PTA can benefit too!”

 

Nathan Cornish, Co-founder of timto, explained: “As a family-run business, we understand
the importance of educating children about the environment and charitable giving
and feel this new service is a great way to bring these messages to life. With timto
teachers we could immediately see the many benefits for children, parents and schools,
and we are extremely excited to launch the service”.
