REPORT TO TRUSTEES
A. Another yeasr of consolidation. As we attempt to restore income streams to support our ambitious programmes:
-
B. 1. We are working increasingly with FE Colleges to help disadvantaged students fundraise to support both their travel and projects, social and environmental, in the UK and around the world. This develops a sense of altruism and self-worth and support students with development of important social and life skills. C. 2. We are building further our network of community projects (social and environmental) around the world. Currently communities we are working with are in Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India), Africa (Zimbabwe, Kenya, Morrocco, Egypt), South America (Granada, Colombia)
-
D. 3. We are developing fundraising initiatives for our students in colleges to support our Global Communities, with a view to them visiting these communities in the future.
-
E. 4. We have developed a new website to support the development of these programmes and are poised to expand the networks here in the UK and around the world.
F. We are facing huge problems and difficulties financially, operationally – but remain positive about the possibilities.
