“Last year you kindly awarded grants to support HR (with £379.80) and HA (with £399.80) to enable them to participate in a Year 6 Residential Trip to the Isle of Wight. The school is once again very appreciative of the funding support, which has allowed "Year 6 pupils who are not as fortunate as others to benefit from opportunities and skills that they may not normally experience and that such a trip can provide. We thank you once again for your very kind support."

On behalf of PACT, I would like to thank you and the Turners Court Youth 'Trust for the very generous donation of £2,500 for our Bounce Back for Kids (BB4K) programme and continuing to support our work with vulnerable families. As you know, BB4K is a specialist support programme developed by PACT for children who have been victims or witnesses of domestic abuse. The programme works with the children and their parents/carers to come to terms with experiencing family breakdowns. The BB4K programme is designed to empower and facilitate the healing process of children and it encourages relationships to be rebuilt between parent and child. Confidence levels are increased and children are shown how to keep themselves safe and communicate more. BB4K can also improve children's school attendance and learning and development, We do hope you will continue to support PACT in the future as we grow our services and projects to support more local families in need.

I am indebted to Turners Court for their support of my research into homeopathy as a treatment for children with behavioural disorders. Their funding has meant that 10 children have been able to receive this treatment for a year each.

The governors of Geoffrey Field Junior School were overwhelmed by the generosity of your charity. In light of the enormous pressure on our school budget, without your help we would have been left with no other option than to raise the cost of next years residential trip to North Wales to each parent or to cancel it altogether.

I am writing to thank you for your generous donation which has enabled us to recruit another project worker to help us to continue our valuable work and to offer our services wider and further within our community.
We really appreciate the support that Turners Court has given us over the years, you have been our main source of support in the past and I am absolutely certain that without your help we would not have survived and become an established successful charity.Wing Commander Denys Williams OBE & Sue Barr

On behalf of the Nomad Trustees and Youth and Families Team I would like to say thank you. We are very grateful for the funding and are already making efforts to get the kitchen refurbished to allow us to progress with our Bistro Project. We know from the pilot sessions that it is an effective way to engage with young people.

I just wanted to write and thank you for the generosity you have shown in providing the tools for SOFEA’s bicycle workshop.
As you know we set up the workshop to engage disadvantaged young people in a meaningful activity, initially by teaching them how to fix their own bikes. Many of the young people we work with have faced barriers such as low qualifications, disability or disrupted backgrounds. The bicycle workshop gives them a space where they can make progress at their own pace and do something productive.
We have begun a training programme to upskill young people, so that they are able to repair other people’s bicycles safely.
Our eventual aim is to create a workshop as a social enterprise, offering repair and maintenance service to local people and potentially employing the young people who have learnt with us.
Several young people have made significant progress over the last 12 months, not just in learning how to repair bikes, but in their confidence and their approach to their futures.
Your support has enabled us to properly equip the workshop and enabled us to develop the programme. Your enthusiasm and help has also been greatly appreciated and has gone a long way in supporting this project get off the ground
