Inking About Africa
(UK, XT37110) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The focus of Inking About Africa is to provide children in The Gambia with the best educational start in life. The charity supports many schools across this small West African country by supplying essential school items needed to gain an education. In addition to supplying these stationery items and other materials, the charity also provides funding for a variety of building projects for the developing of Gambian schools. Inking About Africa is run by a committed team of passionate volunteers who are dedicated to making a difference in one of Africa's poorest countries. 100% of funds raised goes directly into developing schools and children in The Gambia. If you are interested in fundraising for Inking About Africa we have a variety of projects which are in desperate need of your help. Maybe your assistance could help to fund building a toilet block or refurbish a school. In return for your support the charity will ensure that you receive regular updates and pictures. Please contact us if you would like to register as a fundraiser; we will be happy to send you a selection of projects to choose from and give advice on fundraising ideas. Inking About Africa was set up originally to allow people to recycle ink cartridges with the funds raised being used to help children in Africa. The charity quickly gained a positive reputation for the excellent work achieved and our supporters began asking for alternative ways to donate or fundraise for the charity. This led us to expand "Inking About Africa", a recycling charity, to encompass many other forms of fundraising. Setting up a "Virgin Money Giving" page is just one of the ways we have been able to give more people the chance to help us make a difference. Every penny really will help so please donate or fundraise and together we can help to educate the children of The Gambia.
The Shonda Project
(UK, 1075035) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Set up in 1993 by Mick and Angela Prentice, the St Johns First School now thrives with around 350 young children. The school is administered by an elected body of local villagers and receives no help from the Government. Each month the Shonda Project sends funds to pay the salaries of the 13 teachers. There are a high number of single parent families due to a local ferry tragedy some years ago and the ravages of Aids, but those parents who can afford to pay school fees do so. Christmas appeal ~ 2013 Many of the children in Shonda have not travelled even to local attractions, let alone elephants which are only 2 hours away! So we would like to raise some money to send the children on a local school trip - £10 will pay for two children to go ~ a small price to pay for much joy ... Hands up who wants to go on a school trip?!!

We provide a happy, warm and friendly environment where children can thrive and learn under the supervision of trained, caring and competent staff. The Pre-school is a charitable, non-profit making organisation and fees alone do not provide all the funds we need in order to offer all the vital equipment and resources required to provide a wide variety of activities for the children. Each year we have a fundraising target that goes towards the running costs, the purchase of new equipment, days out for the children and improvements to the Pre-school. It also enables us to provide a free healthy eating initiative for all the Children which consists of fresh fruit and vegetable snacks twice a day. Additional funds can help us to provide valuable resources to ensure we can offer our staff essential or necessary training which isn't always funded by the local council. It also allows us to fund extra staff hours for when we may need to provide important one-to-one time for any of our children who may need it for whatever reason. YOUR SUPPORT IN OUR FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!

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.

BISEE Books
(UK, 1151664) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00BISEE Books is a charity which aims to inspire a love of reading in disadvantaged schoolchildren in Ecuador. It was set up in memory of Sarah Howard 26, Indira Swann, 18, Emily Sadler, 19, Elizabeth Pincock, 19, and Rebecca Logie, 19, who were travelling in Ecuador when their coach struck a lorry loaded with sand on the 12th April 2008. The name takes the first letter of each girl’s first name: Becci, Indira, Sarah, Emily and Elizabeth. BISEE Books was officially launched in April 2009, with a visit to Ecuador by the families of the five girls one year on from the accident. Five schools had their own library created in the girls’ names. Since then, with thanks to the tremendous support of family, friends and other people moved by the cause, funds have been raised to purchase the BISEE Book Bus, which has been working in rural communities in Ecuador since March 2010. The BISEE Book Bus is stocked with books, materials and volunteers, and travels from school to school working directly with those children most in need of our help. Many of the children who work with the bus live in extreme poverty. They work with their parents after school and at weekends, with their livestock on the land, or selling what they can in the local markets. These children cannot imagine a future different to that of their parents. The only way out of poverty for them is education, and if the BISEE Book Bus can inspire some of them through reading, we can really make a difference to their futures. BISEE Books is a registered charity with the charities commission (registered charity number 1151664). The fund is exclusively for the development of the literacy project in Ecuador which is a cornerstone of the memorial to the five girls who died and the eight survivors of the 12th April 2008 coach crash.
