EDP (Educational Development Projects) Trust
(UK, 1129398) Browse events
YTD Raised: £8,046.10
(UK, 1129398) 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.

Hampden Gurney PTA
(UK, 1101423) Browse events
YTD Raised: £7,812.00The PTA of Hampden Gurney primary school has to actively raise about £30,000 each year to support non-core activities - please help Hampden Gurney to reach their goal!! Hampden Gurney Primary School is facing unprecedented government funding cuts and many non-core activities cannot be funded within their budget. Music and art lessons; the library, both its books and its staffing; student bursaries for clubs and trips; swimming lessons; trips; workshops; sports equipment and up to date IT equipment are not covered by the School's budget and are often paid for either partially or in full by the PTA … without the PTA, there would be no extras….the school would only be able to afford the basics, and good as they are, this would leave a dull and one dimensional education. So… Please help us to ensure that all of these extras are part of our children's day to day school lives. Charity No: 1101423

Charlton Park Academy Fund
(UK, 1081956) Browse events
YTD Raised: £6,826.48Our Charity The Charlton Park Academy Fund was set up in 2000 to support Charlton School, now Charlton Park Academy, a secondary school for pupils with special needs in the London Borough of Greenwich. The pupils, aged 11-19, have a variety of special needs including autistic spectrum disorder, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and emotional and behavioural difficulties. Many of them come from very deprived backgrounds and therefore face huge challenges to reach their full potential and be as independent as possible. Whilst the academy is funded by central government to deliver the students statutory education, the academy is constantly looking at ways to add to and enhance every student’s school experience, with the intention that this will raise self-esteem, boost self-confidence and ultimately give each student the greatest opportunity to achieve once they have left the school. Projects Such activities and projects of course cost money, and this is where the school’s registered charity looks to play its part. This, in practice, means working with the students, parents, staff and governors to look at projects that will provide the most benefit and impact to as many students as possible. Hence, the charity has raised money for projects large and small, such as the refurbishment of two sensory rooms within the school and the funding of after school clubs and residential trips. We are currently raising money for a new fleet of minibuses, our Minibus Appeal, computer devices for communication, residential trips and clubs.

Burpham Primary School PTA
(UK, 1098735) Browse events
YTD Raised: £6,575.85The Burpham Primary School Parents Support Group ("the PSG") is a Parent Teacher Association and has been registered as a charity since July 2003 (Registered Charity No. 1098735). All parents/guardians, teaching and non-teaching staff, and governors at the school are automatically included in the membership of the PSG, hence another reason behind the name - Parents, Staff and Governors. What is our purpose and how are we organised? Our purpose is, officially, "to enhance the education of the pupils at Burpham Primary School in particular by, developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school; and engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils" - which is a long-winded way of saying we aim to raise money for the school to buy equipment and support other activities whilst ensuring that everyone has plenty of fun along the way! As a charity, the PSG has registered trustees who are responsible for the overall workings of the group. The trustees are usually the Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary plus the Headteacher. Together with the trustees, the publicity officer and class representatives form the wider committee. The Annual General Meeting is held in September. Apart from the usual formalities we use this time to elect the committee for the coming year. The committee meets approximately once a term to hear the treasurers report, to make decisions on what the funds raised are spent on, to ensure compliance with necessary regulations and to oversee the fundraising timetable. Its also an opportunity to meet other parents and exchange views on whats happening in school and have a say in where the money is spent. Each fund-raising, social or support event is often organised by a sub-group of people. We welcome ideas from all parents for both fundraising and social events. We especially welcome volunteers to organise these events and make them work for us. The PSG has its own bank account, separate from School, which finances approved projects for the school and holds profits. A newsletter is sent out regularly to all parents updating everyone on events and monies raised. Fundraising and Fun During the year we hold a variety of events. Examples of past fundraising activities include; Quiz night, Disco, Christmas Fair, Jumble sale , Easter Cake Sale, Auction of Promises, Pamper Night, Summer Fair, etc. All these events require volunteers to help make them a success and we are always looking for new ideas from parents and offers of help for those willing to organise a particular event. Support Activities The PSG also get involved in school to help the teachers with events (and sometimes raise a bit more money in the process). Many parents support the school in other ways. We have a small army of volunteer parents who help in the classroom with reading, cooking, helping with the swimming run, library and other activities.
