| Unable to mentor but still want to help? |
| There are two things that make our charity run as effectively as it does:An enthusiastic and generous network of volunteersThe ability to do so much with so little fundingWould you like to become a part of this by not only sharing your network and expertise but sponsoring one student per year? Becoming a patron means you can be as active as you want depending on your availability. But no matter how much you do, you will be helping our small charity become sustainable and help us to focus on what we do best – raising the academic performance and aspirations of our inspiring young people. Can you help by becoming a patron? Would you like to sponsor one student per year? |

| Thank you for making our Big Give the biggest yet! |
| Our annual Big Give Challenge this year was a huge success!30 donors participatedOver £38k raisedOur 4th year involved with the Big Give and the first time we exceeded our target by as much as we did. The ongoing collaboration with The Childhood Trust and The Big Give has given us a period in which to focus our fundraising and thus proved very popular and successful with our donors. This year we have not only reached our goal, but exceeded it, and it is all thanks to you! Thank you to all who participated! |
