Special Virtuosi
Friday, April 10th, 2015El Camino de Santiago May 2015
Friday, April 10th, 2015Several of the friends of Fiona have talked for some time of a wish to walk at least part of El Camino across Northern Spain. The last 125 kms through Galicia have particular resonance because of the Foundation’s links with the school exchange to Nigran. The first week of May will see a group of friends, many of whom are long term supporters of the Foundation, taking on this challenge and raising funds for the Foundation in doing so. This is the major fundraising project for the Foundation in 2015 and again all donations would be welcome.
More Fundraising in 2014
Friday, April 10th, 2015After a successful summer party at Manley Mere the second half of 2014 saw further fund raising notably for Kevin Savage’s 50th birthday. The year was rounded off with the Christmas party and again all donations were well received. The trustees are so grateful for everyone’s support and we ended the year by meeting our income targets and in a poistion to continue with all of the projects that we have chosen. 2015 will see a few changes

Leavers’ Mass
Monday, November 25th, 2013Once again the Leavers’ Mass in July for the outgoing year 6 children was an emotional day for young and old.

We hope this is a tradition we can keep going for years to come.
