Supporting educational Development
We love to hear feedback from the causes we support! Here is a selection of our latest feedback!

“A truly amazing expedition. . . We were richer by far. We had experienced the differences, similarities and warmth of a culture not our own. We had given and received support to and from our fellow team members, suffered, lived, eaten and laughed with one another”
“The whole week was a great success. The 12 children who were supported by the grant certainly benefitted from their achievements in all the outdoor activities and the whole group bonded together very well. This type of activity would not have the success rate it has if some children were excluded purely through financial difficulties”
“I want to thank you for taking us to the Symphony Hall and the Art Gallery. It was really enjoyable. The thing I liked the most was when we saw all the different art that William Turner painted”
“I leave the University of York Summer School with so many things. I leave with a confidence I never felt before. I leave with friends who I have become closer to than I could possibly have believed. Finally, I leave with knowledge: knowledge of what’s to come if I work hard, of what I can have if I try my very best, and that is the most valuable thing of all”
