Our Impact
What are the Global Goals?
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals with the power to create a better world by 2030.
By ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change the 17 Global Goals guide governments, businesses and each of us to work together to build a better future for all.
Our current projects
Our aim is to support our global community towards a better future, through supporting projects close to home and across the world.
Provide a Sports Programme for a Child
Sponsoring sessions for sports development help children to grow into healthy and physically fit individuals, and at the same time stimulate their development into all-rounded students.
Support Musical Education for Primary School Children
State schools in England alone have seen a 21% decrease in music provision over the last five years. One in five primary school teachers report there is no regular music lesson for their class and only 12% of schools in deprived areas have an orchestra. Music and music making has a huge impact on the development of a child but very often the resources are simply not available. Music For All provides musical instruments for primary school children, stimulating an enjoyment of music making, improving concentration and building confidence.
Provide Safe Drinking Water to Families
Access to safe drinking water is the foundation for the issues of health, education, food, and livelihood. This water is provided via the means of a Bio-Sand Water Filter that lasts up to two decades or more and is able to provide for an entire family. A Bio-Sand Filter (BSF) is a point-of-use water treatment system adapted from traditional slow sand filters. Cambodia has over 9,000,000 cases of diarrhoeal disease, costing the nation $448 million a year. One of the easiest ways to combat poverty and disease is to provide access to clean water sources.
Give a Child Blindness Prevention
Preventing child blindness by distributing a daily dose of vitamin A supplements to children in Turkana, Kenya. In the early stages of development, it is important that children receive the correct nutrition. Access to a proper diet is extremely limited in Turkana as people are nomadic pastoralist. Helping children living in poverty to become more confident and courageous by providing a new chance at life through improved nutrition
