AACT supports star* scheme

AACT is pleased to announce that it has agreed to make a three year commitment to support star* scheme.

Fundraising
We exist as a Foundation to support educational initiatives that advance, and enhance access to, education.
We receive no core grant and therefore are wholly dependent on fundraising to build upon the initial gift of our founding donor.
All monies raised are used to partner educational programs. The entire administrative costs of the
Almond Adams Charitable Trust are paid for by a donor.
If you wish to get involved in our fundraising we would love to hear from you.
Partnerships
We work in partnership with other organisations to help fund or support educational programmes that make a real difference to life opportunities.
Primarily we fund the work of charities that are doing impactful work to reduce the inequalities in access to education, and in so doing, enhance the advancement of society.
Please see our news feed and annual impact report for information on the programmes our Foundation supports.
