An afternoon tea that made a difference 🍰
Wonderful volunteer Dee invited friends for a delicious cream tea in her beautiful garden yesterday, and raised £469!
These vital funds will go directly to help children in rural Ghana go to school. Children who are hungry for education, but lack the basic tools they need to get there like books, pencils - and, most importantly, a school lunch to give them the energy they need to get through the day.
It was a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday.
Heartfelt thanks to Dee for always having our children in her heart, and a special mention to Geoff for his spectacular strawberry jam!
A beautiful afternoon, thank you for our invite
Grateful for kind-hearted people like Dee who make a difference 🙏
That's so heartwarming!
Very well done Dee, and thank you to everyone that made a donation!🎉🙏

Do the summer holidays get better than this?
Whilst schools are closed, our Inclusion Centres are packed full of learning! Doors are open for children or all ages to read and write, learning tech skills, colour & play games. A safe place of aspiration and fun!
Through electricity blackouts, heavy rain and excessive heat - our fantastic team of staff and volunteers have been running sessions all summer long!
An incredible community space, anywhere in the world.
busy and exciting summer for these kids.👍🎉
