The Roy Kinnear Charitable Foundation
(UK, 1056641) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1056641) The Foundation was established to provide a home for life for people with profound and complex learning and physical disabilities who need nursing care, a high degree of personal care and significant social support. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for people to live in an ordinary residential setting, living life to the full as independently and actively as possible, whilst maintaining their health and ensuring their physical and emotional wellbeing. We specialise in providing a home for young adults, often following a period in a residential school or living with family, who wish to move on and develop an independent life. A key objective is to ensure a smooth and successful transition from school or family to adult life, whilst maintaining as much contact with family and friends as possible. We aim to ensure that, whilst people have the benefits and fun of house-sharing with others, we also support them with as much 1:1 staff time as possible to develop their own individual interests and activities, including as much participation in the local community as they wish. Most of our funding comes from the statutory authorities who support each resident and this covers our core operational costs which are significant due mainly to the high ratio of staff to residents. We also seek charitable donations and grant funding from other sources to supplement this income and to enable us to enhance the quality of life of our residents.

Parents Association Of Maria Konopnicka Polish Saturday School Willesden Green
(UK, 1127089) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00We are an independently run Saturday ethnic minority school. The school was founded by parents and continues to be run by parents of children attending the school. It has now been in existence for over 55 years holding lessons on Saturday mornings between the hours of 9 am through to 1 pm. The school takes boys and girls from nursery age (3,5) up to A level examination standard, with the school roll currently standing at around 450 pupils. The school was set up to fulfill two main functions. To help parents teach their children the Polish Language. To provide the children with knowledge about their roots. This is promoted through the teaching of history, geography of Poland along with Polish literature. We also try to ensure that the children are aware of Polish traditions and culture , as well as receiving spiritual and moral guidance. The School belongs to the parents and is run by a committee elected annually from amongst the parents of children attending the school. It is run on a charitable basis with all teaching services being provided by volunteers. These volunteers give up their Saturdays to help the children, receiving only a nominal honorarium for their time and effort. The school is financed entirely from the parents resources, the school receives no funding. The main source of income to cover running costs comes from fees the parents pay. The committee tries to keep the level of fees as low as possible taking into consideration that a lot of the families are recent emigres. The running costs & fees are finely balanced. The school is currently one of the largest Polish Saturday Schools. It is achieving high examination results in Polish language nationally. The Governing Body strives to improve operating procedures to cater for growing numbers of pupils by organizing fund raising activities throughout the year and looks for sponsors for specific purchases.

The Master (or Keeper) And Fellows Of Peterhouse In The University Of Cambridge
(UK, 1137457) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Welcome! For over 700 years Peterhouse has made a remarkable contribution to the society of which it is a part. It has done so through the generosity and support of those who have themselves been educated here, or who have found something in the life, work and educational purposes of Peterhouse that commands their enthusiasm and kindles the will to help. This is a pattern that goes back to the first great act of benefaction by the Founder, Hugo de Balsham, in 1284. Yet this small College, rooted in continuity, is at the same time a centre of innovation, across a spectrum of subjects from the most evidently practical to the most apparently esoteric. The computer takes its inspiration from Charles Babbage. Lord Kelvin brought electric light to the College second only to the Houses of Parliament, to mark Peterhouse’s 600th anniversary in 1884. Sir Frank Whittle and Christopher Cockerill gave the world the jet engine and the hovercraft. All were Petreans. Four Petrean scientific Nobel Laureates – Sir John Kendrew, Sir Aaron Klug, Archer Martin, and Max Perutz – gave a twentienth century lead in Molecular Biology. The Development Campaign supports Peterhouse as a special and historic place (buildings, facilities), as a community of people (student support, music, cultural and sporting opportunities) and as a home of education and intellectual life (Fellowships, Research Fellowships, prizes, research grants). Some £15 million has been generated since the Development Campaign was launched in 2004 with an initial target of £18 million. Campaign achievements to date include: the expansion of the Ward Library; the renovation of the William Stone Building; the creation of M Staircase (the first stage of the extension of Gisborne Court); the restoration of the Hall and the commitment of funding to restore the Combination Room; two College Fellowships have been endowed in perpetuity and significant new funds have been established to help undergraduates and graduate students suffering financial hardship. The top-up fees introduced since October 2006 for students themselves lead them to graduate with increasing levels of debt, yet the College derives little benefit from the new arrangements – the University absorbs by far the greatest part of the increased fees centrally to make up for cuts in central govenrment funding. So the new arrangements make things markedly worse for students, but no better for the College whose duty it is to support and educate them and their successors. So even £18 million will not be enough to meet the Colleges needs going forward: the development effort will be a continuing reality embraced by the College. And, while legacies are tremendously good news for the College's long-term future, there is also a pressing need for cash for priority projects such as the new building in Gisborne Court and the refurbishment of the Chapel organ. A gift of any size to the Development Campaign will help to enrich the experience of Peterhouse students today and secure the future of the College for future generations.
