02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We give grants & financial support to individuals & organisations, that we believe have the capacity to significantly help others, through sponsoring education/training/mentoring, e.g., A grant was given to the Mindful Peak Performance Sport Coaching Project at Loughborough College, for Mentors/Assessors. We funded & launched the 'Sharing your Treasure Workbook', a resource for mindfulness teachers. Scholarships were given to children in Bihar, India & Nepal. To relieve poverty & suffering, we support a girls' hostel in Bihar, India. through contacts in Turkey, we supported Syrian refugees with food, shelter & physiotherapy, for children injured by war & earthquake. Funds were given to a remote nunnery in Nepal to assist with food security. Also to the D E C for the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal for Gaza. We assisted various charities to further their effectiveness, in particular, by donating towards an additional helicopter for the Scottish Air Ambulance Charity.
