In the charity's own words
We currently undertake charitable activities by supporting individual charities or charitable causes which the Trustees themselves identify. The long term aim of the Trustees is to formulate a more focused charitable strategy which will make a fundamental and long term difference to the lives of the recipients and to become more directly involved in charitable work at the 'grass roots' levels.
