We enable invited sponsors and supporters to support a schools programme to reinforce environmental and social
responsibility.

We work by invitation with a small number of independent and well-connected Trusts


and Foundations who are keen to support education: human-scale education, self-paced
learning, multi-cultural understanding and whole person development.

Our points of reference, the people who inspire us, the organisations whose values we
share, include: Schumacher College, Resurgence Magazine, University of Bristol - Dept
of Environmental Sciences, Agora Trust, The World Cafe, Transition Culture, The Hub -
and many others too numerous to mention!
