THE FOUNDATION
Our Foundation has been created to provide financial assistance to those University Students who face financial hardship whilst studying. This has become more of an issue with the UK introducing
Fees to study, and the increased pressure on students can in some cases be insurmountable.
WHO WE ARE
Our Board of Trustees come from various backgrounds, from COO's of well-known companies, to people who within the education sector. Our Chairman is the current GM of a Students Union in London,
our Founder is a former Student Union President. With the experience the Board has, we are very fortunate to be able to draw upon, we believe we can really make a difference and have the right team to do this.
WITH YOUR HELP, WHAT WE CAN DO
We provide non-repayable grants on a means-tested basis to those who apply. The number we can help depends on the amount of money raised. Our site is live and can be seen at www.2studyfoundation.org.
Please feel free to visit this to gain a better insight to the Foundation.
Our aim is to provide students with monies in the region of £500 to £3,000 depending on the need and circumstance.
There are so many worthwhile Charitable causes, so gaining traction for this cause has been a little tougher, hence looking for help from the community on 'Start Some Good'.
We are looking to get assistance to what we believe to be a project which will help so many get off the ground. The Trustees have done as much as they can to get this going, but we now need
office space & staff to make sure the momentum is on-going. We are looking to hire fund raisers, admin staff and volunteers.
IMPLEMENTATION
Thanks to our network and the cause that we have outlined, we are confident that we can make this happen. With your help we can plan and hold fundraisers, raise awareness of our campaign.
Our venture does not only plan on providing financial assistance to students. We intend on following their progress whilst at University and sharing this 'diary' online so you and others can
see how much of a difference you have help make.
ADDITIONAL STUDENT SUPPORT
The Charity also provides a telephone support line which gives students support by qualified nurses & professionals on anything health, wealth, welfare related.
