PROJECTS

We originated from sport and coaching therefore many of our programs were associated with sport or activity. We've majored on research, and because Tim was on dialysis we have taken an interest in kidney and dialysis research where we have been able to.

Final Donations (in the last year of the trust):

StreetGames
Funded a nine month test and learn pilot project operated by StreetGames, engaging with young people, particularly where they are reluctant to participate in sporting activity. StreetGames worked with with nine community partners in various regions across England and Wales to deliver the pilot.

Ballers Academy
Funded the Ballers academy, providing opportunities for girls to play football through a free girls-only football program located in Southwark

Bradford Royal Infirmary

Funded the delivery of training in Malawi by Dr David Strachan FRCS (Consultant ENT Surgeon) and nine other ENT surgeons from the UK so that more medical staff are able to deliver endocscopic ear treatment in a context where there was only one ear, nose and throat surgeon (Waskia Mulwafu) in a country of over 18 million people. Particular areas of development included cochlear ear implants and otology, and the coordination of donations of medical equipment to Malawi from major manufactures.
