Tring Park School for the Performing Arts offers a unique opportunity for gifted young people to specialise in Dance, Drama, Musical Theatre or Music, whilst gaining an excellent academic education to GCSE, BTEC and A level. Tring Park is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school, for up to 320 pupils between the ages of 8-19. The school is housed in a former Rothschild mansion and set in beautiful grounds in Tring, Hertfordshire. Pupils perform regularly at the highest level, both in our own Markova Theatre as well as in London, throughout the UK and Europe. Recent performances have included Gershwin’s Crazy for You and Jesus Christ Superstar at Londons Shaw Theatre and Graduation Ball at Swedens Gothenburg Opera House with members of the Swedish Ballet School. In 2010, our young ballet dancers performed in London productions of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker with English National Ballet. The School’s aspiration is to be the best performing arts school in the UK, offering excellent education and training in first-class facilities accessible to all who meet the artistic entry standards. In order to fulfil this ambition Tring Park requires enormous investment and is proud to announce that it has successfully achieved the first phase of its ambitious plan with the completion of five new studios and significantly increased student bursary support (a combined investment of over £3m). This is just the start however and we are keen to progress with the second phase as early as 2012. 2011 will therefore see the launch of the Tring Park Campaign. The campaign aims to raise £10m over a number of years to support two major priorities: To invest in development and improvements to facilities Increase access to talented students by expansion of scholarship and bursary. The School is hugely grateful for any donations supporting the campagn which will benefit future generations of aspiring young performers.

James Ballantyne Memorial Fund (UK, 1167006) Browse events

Supporting and encouraging young engineers On Friday 3rd July 2015 James Ballantyne was tragically killed in a road traffic accident. James was an energetic, eccentric, idiosyncratic, generous and sociable 23 year old. He was loved by many and liked by all those he met. He had an infectious passion and enthusiasm for everything he did. One of those passions was for engineering and in particular electronic engineering. He graduated from Cardiff University in 2013 with a degree in Electronic Engineering and he went on to work in the profession which he found immensely interesting and satisfying. He was always keen to share his love of the subject with everyone.To that end the James Ballantyne Memorial Fund has been set up to provide information and advice and to advance education in the study and practice of engineering among young people.With your support we can ensure that the love James had for engineering will never die and will be shared and enjoyed by more young people than ever before.

Pekbeken Ali Foundation (UK, 1148259) Browse events

The Pekbeken Ali Foundation was set up to help poor and disadvantaged children and families in bangladesh. We assist with access to clean drinking water, blankets, housing and education. We also have a policy of helping individuals sustain their families through access to decent education and by provision of means to earn a regular income. Bangladesh currently suffers from a high level of illiteracy with around half of the population being able to read and write. In remote or rural areas, access to basic primary school education is scarce and even when this is available; most children have to suffer inadequate shelters in which schooling takes place. PAF looks to create schools where there is a requirement and to replace buildings made of tin which fail to provide a place conducive to a great studying environment. We look to achieve this goal by raising money to build schools through projects such as 3 Peaks and Mount Kilimanjaro Challenges where our team members fund the trips personally and donate 100% of the money they have raised to the charity.   In 2012 PAF managed to raise over £2,500 when a team of seven climbers completed the 3 Peaks Challenge. This money has part funded the building of a school in the village of Nazirow gow in  Sylhet region, Bangladesh . The school is currently under construction with the foundation stone laid on 14th January 2013 during a ceremony attended by a local MP (name). The current tin structure is being replaced by a brick building and will house up to 120 school children with a total of 8 teachers providing morning and afternoon classroom shifts in a secure and safe environment. All classrooms will be kitted out with desks and chairs and the school will potentially hold a small library. As well as providing clean, hygienic and well-constructed classrooms, we aim to ensure clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are available at the school, in order to help improve the health of the children. The school is due to be completed and officially opened on the 29th March 2013 by the founder Mohammed Ali.
