2016 Charity - MALTA

Our donations of €20,000 helped to fund Inspire’s Winter Programme. This programme targeted children with disability who attend mainstream schools and who follow an adapted school/class. The programme worked on the principle of cooperation between Inspire staff/volunteers and Learning Support Assistants, where together we work hand in hand in supporting children to achieve their individual goals. 

This service was offered free of charge but running it cost Inspire €700 per child. Between September and May around 240 children benefitted from this programme! 

2015 Charity - PORTO

CrescerSer

For this charity we raised €20,000! Well over our target!
