Author visits to Kings Worthy Primary School
In April and June 2025, the Foundation funded the visits of two children's authors, Duncan Beedie (author of 'The Bear who Stared') and Yarrow Townsend ('The Map of Leaves') to Kings Worthy Primary School, Winchester.
The Children's Literacy Charity
In April 2025, the Foundation donated £1,000, which was matched via the Big Give platform to make a sum of £2,000. The Children's Literacy Charity exists to support children in disadvantaged areas who are falling behind in their literacy attainment. It does this by providing specialist tutors who see the children on a one-to-one or very small group basis, and it achieves remarkable results.
