Through our network of committed, high quality volunteer tutors, we make the benefits of tutoring available to those that may not otherwise be able to afford it, enabling them to progress beyond GCSEs, to further education, employment or training.Our vision is a world in which no child's life chances are limited by their socio-economic background.

Tony Barnard Foundation
(UK, 1136753) Browse events
YTD Raised: £6,373.79Opportunities for all - TBF seeks to open doors for children and adults with learning difficulties who may have their opportunities to develop or to enhance their life skills thwarted through lack of funds. The Tony Barnard Foundation was formed in memory of Tony Barnard.Tony suffered a massive brain trauma and adapted to life as a disabled man for over twenty years. He endured several months of total blindness and he learned how to cope in his dark world. This equipped him with new and different strategies with which to face life. Tony had been a very successful business man prior to his trauma and was a great believer in the power of the marketing and networking tools. Having lost the use of 50% of his body Tony never allowed the disability to constrain his desire to continue to network and support, encourage and help others. Tony made often made friends of those who found friendship a struggle. He understood what it was to have your confidence shattered and your world shrink through trauma. Working together The aim of the Foundation is to support in whatever way we can. The Foundation will raise funds that can be distributed to open doors for some and take the pressure off others. None of the money raised will go to employ people—all the money raised will be to offer direct relief or to offer individuals, groups or families opportunities to enhance their quality of life. Who will benefit We will aim to support those with a learning difficulty to enable them to be more independent and to have the opportunity to participate in the community in which they live.
