It was inspiring last week to have June and Ian Burney speak to us about their educational programme aimed at very young children. Their creation of Toch a future creature which children can relate to enables kids to see what could happen in the future if they, and their families, don’t change what they are doing today. It is an impressive project and deserves our support.

- Created a strong brand backed up by a website with over 100 resource rich online pages and already attracted over 10000 visitors. ·
