St Olaves Grammar School Voluntary Fund
(UK, XR16302) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,470.00The St Olave's Grammar School Voluntary Fund was established to support the provision of a wide range of curricular and extra-curricular activities at the School which could not be maintained by state funding alone. Examples of how the money raised is used on a regular basis include: - coaches and minibuses for school trips and for transporting sports teams to away fixtures; - additional specialist coaching for sports such as Fives and Chess; - drama productions and concerts; - purchase of materials for Art and Design Technology; - a range of clubs and societies such as debating, medical and language groups. Using the resources of the School Fund, St Olave's is able to offer a far wider and more varied range of extra-curricular activities for its pupils than the majority of state schools. These provide an opportunity for all pupils to engage in areas of interest and to help develop their skills and characters beyond the classroom as well as supporting their academic learning and achievement. The majority of parents contribute regular payments of £50 per month by standing order, although a significant number are kind enough to offer larger sums. Almost all of those who qualify have also completed Gift Aid declarations which allow the School to claim tax relief to enhance the value of those payments.

BeyondAutism
(UK, 1082599) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,324.66Autism, 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.

SeeBeyondBorders
(UK, 1146044) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,090.00SeeBeyondBorders is a not-for-profit organisation that provides Cambodian children with access to quality teaching and learning at school. We are committed to sustainably improving education standards in Cambodia and promote local participation, management, responsibility and ownership across all of our programmes. We train teachers, develop school infrastructure and support local families educating their children in Cambodia - a country that has been ravaged by war, genocide, repression and starvation. Cambodia is a country of immense beauty and warm people, but the pain of its recent history lies not far beneath the surface. The legacy of the Khmer Rouge remains a constant factor in the day-to-day lives of everyday Cambodians, with its impact clearly felt in the education system. Cambodia also continues to struggle to meet its population’s basic needs. Faced with extreme poverty, nearly half the children living outside the main cities do not complete primary school. We work to enable more children to complete their basic education and progress from primary to lower secondary school, through both better quality and access to education. SeeBeyondBorders delivers three integrated programmes that have been developed out of recognition that the challenges to Cambodia’s education system are multi-dimensional, and solutions will require a holistic intervention approach. Our programmes are: 1. Teach The Teacher 2. Getting To School 3. Better Schools Our primary focus is in the rural areas of Battambang and Siem Reap provinces. In each case, our Teach the Teacher programme forms the lead initiative and is supported by our Better Schools and Getting to School programmes according to individual School Development Plans and community needs. Presently we work in over 65 schools with approximately 360 teachers in our programme who teach and educate more than 12,200 children.
