WHO WE HELP

We have been operating now since the beginning of 2003 and our donation programme has escalated from 10 grants made in the first financial year to about 30 in the most recent; the average size of our donations similarly has risen from ca. £700 to a current ca. £1500. These trends reflect both our increasing visibility and the escalating costs of making a significant difference to people's lives. We hope to see our current level of donations remaining fairly constant in the foreseeable future if we are to continue to provide help to a reasonable number of hardworking and diverse charitable organisations.

In the course of 2021/22 we passed the half-million mark, i.e total donations made since inception!

Examples of the kind of project that we have supported are:

- building costs for extension to hostel for street children in Ghana (Afrikids);
