What the charity does

The retiring director Sally Trench, has at the Trustees request, been researching possible projects in the UK and South Africa which support imaginative new initiatives of direct benefit to groups of children recovering from specific crises in their lives, with special emphasis on self-help schemes that the Trustees may wish to support when the sale proceeds of the property have been received.
