About Us
Our Trustees
A group of passionate individuals
Our people have the skills, enthusiasm and connections to have meaningful impact.
The connections between the founding trustees can be linked back to The Windsor Boys' School, where all Trustees have either attended as a student or taught at. The motto of this school is 'Uno Animo' which means 'with one mind'. This underpins how we approach our work, with one mind dedicated to supporting local community groups with sustainable change, through educating and empowering whole communities, in areas that need it most.
