The Foundation delivers annual fundraising events including a glamorous autumn Charity Fundraising Ball and a spectacular Summer Park Event.
Both events are open to the public and serve to promote awareness of the charity in its efforts to contribute towards the development and needs within the Jamaican early childhood education sector.
The Foundation will assist basic Schools by providing facilities for the education, development and recreation of their students and the training and development of teachers. The Foundation works closely with counterpart organisations in Jamaica that can play a collaborative role in effecting its undertaking. One such body is The Dudley Grant Memorial Trust which was established in Jamaica in 1989. The Jamaica Ministry of Education will also be a key partner in the Foundation’s ongoing activities.
On trips to Jamaica, the Charity tours the various schools across the country to identify how and where the funds raised from events can be distributed.
For our anniversary, we are offering qualifying basic schools across Jamaica a small grant of £300 each.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE ANY BASIC SCHOOL TO APPLY VIA OUR WEBSITE.

In Jamaica, the Schools within the Basic School sectors suffer from severe shortage of adequate learning material and resources which are crucial for early childhood development. Resources that are taken for granted in developed countries are not readily available to those needy schools. Some of the schools, in particular those in the more rural areas have to function under conditions of poor ventilation and lighting, inadequate furniture, poor kitchen and toilet facilities and deteriorating buildings. Such conditions are not conducive to providing an environment with supports the learning process.
The Basic schools in Jamaica need your help to fulfil their potential. It is envisage that we will adopt further basic schools with the aim of promoting model schools across the island – helps us to accomplish a lot more! We want you to share in our commitment and encourage you to participate in a worthwhile cause.
