"...empowering and resourcing people, particularly carers and disabled people, through creativity, environmental awareness, personal growth and spirituality."
Spring of Hope began in 2004 when the Founder, Theresa Clarke, visiting rural Uganda from Cambridgeshire, witnessed the abuse of disabled children. Typically, they were locked away and tied up due to the stigma of disability. The charity now works with 500 children and their families to provide education and physiotherapy. It also offers nutritional and clinical support as well as free medication for epilepsy. Spring of Hope Trust is registered in the UK to help raise funds to meet these objectives. The principal recipient of support is Spring of Hope Uganda, a community based organisation (CBO). The Trust is also prepared to support other organisations, in rural Uganda, with similar objectives

A Call to Business is a growing community of business people who believe that God has called them into business not simply to work, but to create resources and influence the sphere of authority around them, and to see many people coming to faith and being discipled in the context of their everyday working lives. Beginning in the City of London, this community now stretches around the globe, with business people in many nations taking up the challenge to live out their faith in their place of work, bringing transformation to individuals, companies, communities and even nations.

The vision of our earliest benefactors, Henry Bury and Roger Kay, was to found a school that would educate young people to the highest possible standard; over 400 years later we continue to uphold their legacy of excellence in education. Our students leave us as mature, responsible, confident and well balanced young adults. They embrace life with a positive attitude and a quest for knowledge which has been instilled in them at BGS. They will make a difference in the world. We must continue to raise funds for capital projects if we are to provide our students with the facilities and resources they need in an ever-changing world. At the same time, we strive to increase bursary funding to provide assistance to bright children whose parents are unable to afford our fees. The children who receive bursaries are often amongst our highest achievers; they deserve the life-enhancing opportunity of a BGS education. We rely upon the help of our community. We ask you to give as you are able to ensure our future success and guarantee that others may benefit from the type of education you received. We thank you warmly for your kind consideration of our Schools.

The club has 5 adult sides made up of a Sunday friendly team, two Saturday league teams plus two sides that play during the week, one in the local competition, The La Hogue Midweek Evening League, and another that plays declaration matches in the afternoon.

We run coaching for Junior members throughout the year and currently have over 70 junior members. We are very proud that four boys and one girl from our Junior section have represented the County. We also host junior cricket camps during the school holidays and junior tournaments involving other local clubs. One of the great things about the majority of cricket we play is that all ages and abilities can play in the same team and make important contributions to the side’s performance. Last season the age range of the players representing the senior teams team was between 11 and 66, including a number of fathers & sons playing in the same team. We also make a big effort to get the whole family involved and mums and daughters are out in force at our family Kwik cricket evenings on Fridays in the summer. The club takes its role in the community very seriously and continues to receive exceptional support from both cricketers and non cricketers in the village. The running costs of the club exceeds £12K per year and fundraising plays a crucial part in achieving this. In addition the club is currently fundraising to build a new pavilion that meets the needs of the club today.

We strive to raise achievement, self-confidence and aspiration through creative instruction.

East Barnet Old Grammarians, known as EBOG, is an amateur football club open to all the community. It caters for men and ladies from age 16 upwards, girls and boys. Created, run, maintained and funded by its own volunteer members it offers affordable organised football competing in a League and several Cups. The Clubhouse and football pitches are located at the end of Alan Drive, off Mays Lane, Barnet. The Clubhouse was paid for and built in 1962 by the EBOG members of that era themselves (see photos right, of the tennis courts being built in the 1960s). Since then all maintenance of the Clubhouse and grounds has been paid for or carried out voluntarily by the members, apart from new pitch drainage in 2007 (see photo) for which the Club received a grant. Since the very first season, EBOG has suffered from the disappointment and drop in bar income caused by cancelled games because of sodden pitches. The new drainage has almost put an end to that (this Winter being an exception), but the clay soil means that the pitches must be dressed with tons of sand every year or they will soon go back to their original state. The sand however, costs thousands of pounds and this year in particular, EBOG needs to put as much effort as possible into raising funds. Every little bit raised adds up and could ensure that the Club continues to exist and thrive for the benefit of current and future members of the community. EBOG 12 hour football marathon!!
