EDP (Educational Development Projects) Trust

YTD Raised: £5,876.60
EDP is a small UK based charity which offers FEE FREE senior secondary education at the Awutu-Winton Senior High School to disadvantaged but academically able youngsters in Awutu, 50 miles west of Accra in Ghana. EDP believes that education is the only route out of poverty and despair, and it is the gift no child in our world should be denied! In Ghana only 45% of the population attends senior secondary school – costing close to 35% of the average per capita GDP, it is way beyond the financial reach of the majority. Therefore, EDP Directors David and Inez Lunan joined with founder Peter Donkor (a Ghanaian teacher formerly at Winton School in Andover) to address the educational needs of youth in the Awutu area by building the Awutu-Winton Senior High School.

BeyondAutism
(UK, 1082599) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,625.74Autism, the complex lifelong neurological condition which affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them, affects 1 in 100 children in the UK. No one knows what causes it and there is no cure. At BeyondAutism we strive to enrich the lives of children with autism and those of their families using positive educational experiences to provide them with a brighter future. We run an independent special needs school for children of primary and secondary school age (4-17) with autism spectrum disorders. The school offers a structured programme of intensive intervention based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Verbal Behaviour (VB). Our greatest efforts are devoted to understanding the very individual needs of each child who attends Rainbow School. Through the development of a happy, caring environment the children and staff gain respect for each other, and nurture confidence, independence and self-belief. Fundraising is integral to the development of Rainbow School and BeyondAutism. All pupils placed at Rainbow School are fully funded by their Local Authority. However, LA funding does not cover the capital costs of school buildings or the expansion expenses of training and materials. As a result the charity relies on the generosity of its supporters to allow us to continue to expand and to continue our work with children with autism. We would like to further develop Rainbow School's role as a centre of excellence by increasing the range of our services to providing more training, early intervention and outreach programmes. Please support the valuable work we do to allow us to continue making a difference to the children who need our help. Your support will make a real difference to children with autism and their families.

The Friends Of St Monica's School
(UK, 1059399) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,485.36The Friends of St Monica's School is the registered charity of St Monica's RC Primary School in Southgate whose soul aim is to organise fund raising events to provide additional finance for the educational development of the children who attend the school. St Monica's is a "voluntary-aided" school. This means that the school receives all it's running costs from the local authority, but unlike a "maintained" school, we will only receive up to 90% of our capital costs from the government and this is where The Friends step in to pick up this shortfall. We are fortunate at our school to have a PTA that is, and has been, an integral part of the school community for over 35 years. In its time, The Friends has raised many thousands of pounds, which have been spent on equipment and resources to enhance our children's educational experience and the school's facilities. The Friends exist to provide closer links between home and school and helps bring staff, parents and friends together to work towards our common goal - improving the learning and social environment for our children. Every parent or guardian whose child attends St Monica's automatically becomes a member of The Friends and we are always grateful for those who take the next step to join our committee or participate in our many fundraising activities throughout the year.

Build an Education
(UK, EW19905) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,435.00At Build an Education our aim is to improve the educational resources and opportunities for children in developing countries. Initially our attention is directed towards Ghana where in 2002 only 61% of primary age children were attending school. Since then and as a result of an increased focus on education and 5% of GDP now being set aside to provide educational resources, the number of children attending school has risen dramatically. In 2011 84% of children were enrolled in school with 73% attending regularly. However the data collected for secondary education shows that only 42% of children actually go on to attend school at secondary level. We believe that providing children with a high quality education whatever their age or ability is essential; in our view education must be regarded a basic right - every child should have the opportunity for a good level of education in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to deliver this through a variety of activities beginning with a focus on the school building and fabric itself; children should have every chance to access a good quality of education in a building that is fit for use and with equipment that stimulates and informs. Many current school buildings are unfit for purpose and by yet third world standards it will take relatively little effort and funds to improve their situation. Once this has been achieved we will work to deliver furniture, fittings and learning equipment such as books and stationery.
