I am pleased to say that since receiving the Richard Bulmer grant, I have purchased a Roland Td-50 electronic drum kit, second hand, including flight cases for protection.  Since purchasing it I was booked for a professional contract at a pantomime where I have been performing daily. This has been the first professional contract I have received, and I was only able to accept because of my Roland TD-50 kit due to the specific request for an electronic drum kit.

We have now delivered three George’s fund sessions and it has been a joy to see the huge benefits the children have experienced. Many have been able to overcome challenges they didn’t think they were capable of and many have made huge strides in building their confidence. One of our tutors said to me that delivering the George’s fund sessions reminded her of just why she chose to become an Outdoor Learning Tutor and children have described the days they have had as the best of their lives!

The Beneficiary is very grateful for your help.  She asked me to thank you very much on her behalf.
She checked her meters, she already has everything for her gas and electric.  Thanks to this she won’t be sitting at home dressed warmly and also she won’t be worrying if she has enough to top up.  When she saw the meters she cried with joy.  She asked me to pass on heartfelt thanks to the whole team

I cannot thank you enough for all the support you provide, as it enables students like Cameron to attend New Designers and achieve such remarkable successes.

I applied for a grant for a couple of training courses for a gentleman.  He has passed both and is now looking into setting up as self-employed, so he is very grateful for this. Previously, he was unable to be employed due to complex PTSD affecting relationships within the workplace, so he was unemployed for a long time. This has enabled him to work for himself and set him on a whole new course in life.  You guys are absolutely amazing.
