One of our goals is to act for the public good. As part of that goal
we have chosen to sponsor the well-known charity, The
Children´s Society. About The Children's Society HRH The Duchess of Gloucester is the Royal President of The Children's Society.
The Children's Society works with and for children. They believe that no child is beyond hope, understanding or love. They aim to create a safer world where children are loved unconditionally and have the freedom to be children and learn from their mistakes.
The Children's Society focuses on those most in need - children and young people pushed to the edges of society, whose needs are not met by government services or other agencies. They work with:
children at risk on the streets
children in trouble with the law
young refugees
children with disabilities
The Children's Society works with these children to provide the services and support they need; to campaign to change systems that have failed them and to offer them hope for a better life.
Recently The Children's Society has launched Safe and Sound, a major campaign that enables its supporters and the public to turn their concerns into action. See The Children's Society web-site for more information on this important campaign.

Annual Ball. What you can do

Children's Society. You or your businesses may well be able to get
tax relief on any donations - visit HM
