Catterick veteran delighted with success of teaching tool

A North Yorkshire veteran who created a free online learning tool has said he never expected it to spread "as widely" as it has.

Buddy Box was created by entrepreneur Mark Hill, from Catterick Garrison, in 2018 to help teach English to refugee children in schools.

Since then it has been used to teach English and maths to pupils across the world.

It has also helped Ukrainian and Afghan refugees arriving in the UK.

"I didn't anticipate it spreading as widely as it has throughout the UK and other countries as it has done," Mr Hill said.
