How much money is donated to us?
Over the year to August 2025 we received roughly £64,500 in donations (see the chart below).
We recieved £27,900 in one off donations; £19,600 from regular giving by our supporters; £13,000 from our fundraising events over the year and £4,000 in grants from other charities.
How did we spend those donations?
Our running costs are less than 2p for every £1 donated!
- About £17,000 went on food and general expenses for the 300 students.
- £7,896 was spent on exam fees
- £2,800 was spent on School Insurance and government permits.
- £5,035 on medical costs. If our students need treatment, and many do, we make sure they get it.
- £752 was spent on general maintenance, £1,000 each for solar panels and a polytunnel.
- Last but not least we spent £21,293 on a security fence for the school! Theft was becoming a real problem and we had to abandon all attempts to grow food because of organised crime. We were fortunate to recieve some really generous donations to complete this project
Can you help?
A regular donation of £25 a month provides for 1 student. £20 would pay for a mattress. £80 would enable us to buy a metal bunk bed. These are just examples. We prefer donations to go into our general fund as we never know where the money might need to be spent. For example in 2025 one of our pupils developed cancer and unfortunately needed an amputation. We paid for all her treatment, as we do for all our students.
