Funders

We are very grateful for the funding we have received to support our work since we started from Christian Aid, DFID, St. Benedict’s College, EADEN (East Anglian Development Education Network), The Local Network Fund, The Fairtrade Foundation, EEDEN Global Dimensions in Education Fund (GDEF) and Awards for All.

Jerome Booth Charitable Fund

We were grateful to receive a grant of £685 awarded from the Jerome Booth Charitable Fund, which is administered by Essex Community Foundation.
This was to replace our 2 very old computers.
 

Awards for All - Big Lottery Fund

A grant awarded to fund a volunteer project Learning, Growing, Achieving from September 2010 to the beginning of April 2011.
This is an exciting project to enable volunteers to learn new skills, gain confidence and be supported in presenting workshops to pupils in local primary schools and years 7 and 8 at secondary school.

Grassroots Grants

A grant to fund the development and running of our Resource Centre between October 2008 and May 2010. We were particularly pleased to receive this grant as it enables us to develop this important aspect of our core work.

Premises

We are very grateful to The East of England Cooperative Society for providing us with office space at their Resource Centre premises at Greenstead.

 

Volunteers

We could not run efficiently without our volunteers who help manage our Resource Library, help with administration, workshop preparation and many other clerical tasks. If you would like to help please contact us.
