Testimonials 

After supporting a group of Year 7 pupils on a school residential: 

'This will allow them to be included in something that most of their peers are getting to experience. The children will be able to gain confidence, self-esteem, resilience and independence.'

After providing funding for joinery tools for an apprentice: 

'We appreciate all your help and support. You have helped our family massively.'

After providing funding for exam resits, necessary following ill health: 

'I just wanted  to confirm that I've received the payment and say a huge thank you. I am immensely grateful for this, thank you so much.'

After providing funding for a school music trip:

'I just wanted  to  share with you what a fantastic time he had at his Music Education trip to Edinburgh. He had the opportunity to watch and be inspired by professional musicians such as Jools Holland and his  20 piece band at the Festival Theatre. This has encouraged him to go further on his own musical journey and expand his musical knowledge.'
