Micro solution for Macro inflation...

Nowadays, declining currency value and higher inflation have become the new standard. With inflation at its greatest level in 30 years, we must anticipate spending the upcoming winter and subsequent seasons slightly differently. To survive this massive inflation, we must be frugal with our money and consider it multiple times before we spend. While there are so many ways to save, I came across a mobile application that was designed to assist me as a parent and a few others like me.

As schools reopened, it was increasingly challenging for my spouse and me to figure out who was available to pick our kids up. Since certain meetings had times that conflicted with school runs, it was tricky for us to arrive at school promptly. Although we enrolled the kids in several activities at school, there was a clear necessity for assistance with school runs at the time. Albeit my children's care is attended at school, I had to spend additional money from my pocket to enrol them on these clubs. That's when I discovered SKEWL. It's a wonderful product that would benefit busy parents and their children managing their school runs. Skewl makes it easier for us to interact with the parents in our neighbourhood whose children attend the same school so that we can find out about their shared school runs. This strengthened my bond with the parents; previously, we had simply been smiling friends, but Skewl has enabled us to build closer ties. On some days of the week, I ask the assistance of a new parent friend to pick up my children from school, and in exchange, I pick up their children. There are certain basic precautions that the app has made to ensure the child's protection. Now I can monitor my child's school run even if I'm abroad or in a meeting at the workplace or from home.

I find Skewl to be a genuine breeze during this stressful period because registration was so simple. I can discover parents in my neighbourhood by adding both my family and me onto the app. Through the in-app chat function, I may locate my friends or meet new people, schedule trips or request rides on existing ones. With Skewl, we can monitor our children's school runs in real time and receive notifications when they are picked up or dropped off at or back from school. My driving journeys to school have decreased from 5 days to 2 or 3 days at most. Additionally, this has decreased the number of cars from the same location that travels to school each week (in my instance, from 2 to 1). Kids get to maintain their friendships outside of school, encouraging them to be socially aware and active and helping them develop strong personalities, while parents get to save money, time, and fuel. Every drop of fuel saved would help you spend or save that money wisely.

Slough Council & Buckinghamshire Council has already drafted guidelines for shared school run, it's time for us to start using Skewl and manage our shared school runs.

Skewl is free and now available on both App Store & Play stores. Download, Install to plan your School run with the neighbourhood community
