We had clearly hoped to pass on a planet in a better sustainable state to future generations. Increased understanding of climate change has made this objective very challenging. Whilst our ethos has remained consistent throughout the thirty years. We have consistently attempted to initiate funding for ecologically and sustainably aware initiatives. Developing a network of cooperation through our first hand contacts and NGOs across the most disadvantaged communities.
