Why did we set up the Foundation?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We had been concerned for some time about the high operating costs of some charities and that not enough of their funds were benefiting the people in need. There is a better way that puts the people centre stage so we established the Foundation in 2014 to work with great causes and ensure that the maximum amount of our funds is spent making a real difference. Later that year we became a registered charity with the <\/strong>Charity Commission<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first donation was received in April 2015 and we were overjoyed to make our first grant in July 2015 to Tiger Kloof, a township school in Vryburg, South Africa, to fund the installation and operation of wifi which has transformed teaching and learning at this impressive institution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
