Churchill College, which received its Royal Charter in 1960, is the national and Commonwealth memorial to Sir Winston Churchill. It is the embodiment of his vision of how higher education can benefit society in the modern age. Like the thirty other colleges in Cambridge University, it is committed to outstanding academic achievement; more than twenty of its members have won the Nobel Prize. While it focuses especially on science, engineering and technology, its teaching and research also reflect the intense interest in the arts and humanities of Sir Winston himself, whose own Nobel Prize was for literature. And it builds bridges from academe to business and the professions. Open, friendly, progressive and outward-looking, Churchill also builds bridges to the wider community. It pioneered the entry of women to all-male colleges. It seeks and welcomes able students who might not otherwise aspire to come to Cambridge. It gives bursaries to those in need. And it draws a rich variety of scholars from abroad, some through Overseas Fellowships and others through schemes such as the Winston Churchill Scholarships, which enable outstanding graduate students from the USA to study in Cambridge. In short, Churchill College provides a most attractive and inspiring environment, as its founder wished, for new generations keen to learn and to meet the challenges of the future.
We are an inclusive school community. A new playground would give children with disabilities equal opportunity to access a playground and connect with their peers, develop social skills through play, taking turns and sharing. To achieve this, we need all your support to make this possible.

Brain Tumour Alliance Australia Inc (BTAA) is the only national brain tumour patient and caregiver organisation in Australia who represents the brain tumour community from the health care consumer view point. Established in late 2008 by a group of brain tumour patients and current and former caregivers, BTAA seeks to represent the brain tumour community from the viewpoint of the patient, family and caregiver. While welcoming the advice and input of medical specialists, BTAA hope by working together we can strengthen the patient support group alliances across Australia and convey consistent messages across a variety of health consumer groups and the Brain tumour community.
