The Friends Of St Monica's School
(UK, 1059399) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,485.36
(UK, 1059399) The 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.

YTD Raised: £5,109.90The Thunder Foundation has opened a school in Nairobi for 150 of the poorest children, 35 of them are special needs children. Offering them Free Education, Food and Health Care. We also run a Football Academy for 160 homeless street children. Our founder, Raad Swais, a P.E.Teacher from East Sussex, moved to Nairobi in 2012 to teach at a private school. He was so appalled by the conditions in the slums he decided that he must try and help. Our first school opened January 2014 with 22 hand picked children, (from the poorest families.) The advantage of our charity is that Raad runs all our projects first hand. He still works full time at the private school but all his spare time is for The Thunder Foundation. Team Thunder fund raise in the UK and every penny we raise is spent on our projects in Nairobi.

Oliver and Learn
(UK, 1163391) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,047.00Oliver & Learn is the charitable foundation of OLIVER group, a global integrated marketing agency. We have one mission: to alleviate poverty. We do this by supporting educational projects in disadvantaged communities around the world. Education leads to better lives. And we’re passionate about the benefits our grants provide. The students we support may not have otherwise been able to attend school. But through education, they are able to enhance their own lives, as well as that of their families and community. It's amazing how far a small amount of money goes - £120 pays for a student to attend school for an entire year. Attending school, also means they are guaranteed a daily meal, which otherwise might not be the case. All the money we raise goes directly to support schools and students. We work with local charities to ensure it goes to the most needy. We appreciate all the support that you are able to give and so do the kids, who really need this the most.
Friends of Asha (Ireland)

Its programmes help gain access to healthcare, financial services and education, and equip the slum residents with the tools to make long-term, positive changes to their lives. Asha is currently supporting over 500,000 people in 55 slum colonies in Delhi through its programmes but it is in education that the most amazing things are happening. In 1988 less than 50% of children attended school. Today 96% of children in Asha’s slums attend school and Asha has been successful in removing obstacles to allow slum children gain places in colleges, leading to internships and ultimately into the workplace. Since 2008 over 1,200 students from slums have attended university. They are leading the way for thousands to follow.

Shepherds Down School Fund
(UK, 298561) Browse events
YTD Raised: £4,815.24Shepherds Down School Fund was set up to support Shepherds Down School, an infant and junior school for students with special needs in the Winchester area, Hampshire. The students, aged 4-11, have a variety of special needs including autistic spectrum disorder, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and physical difficulties. Whilst the school is funded by the local authority to deliver the students statutory education, the school 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. 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, a few examples of which are: Buying Christmas presents for students each year Purchase of two minibuses to take students on educational visits. Refurbishment of two sensory rooms within the school. Building canopies outside classrooms to provide a dry play area. Purchase of IPADS and eye gaze technology to enable pupils to experience and get involved in the new technology that is in the market. We are now hoping to raise money to complete our aim of having one IPAD for each class, a replacement minibus and converting a grass area into an all-weather play area. We are also going to have to upgrade our Light and Sound room and this project will be underway if we can secure funding.
