4. Feeling Brighter
Working alongside us provides a special positive vibe. We encourage people help out with our activities. This is a way to feel brighter and learn to think more positively.

The Foundation’s work is based on the positive learning methods and learning culture used at the schools. Our members are current staff and pupils as well as ex staff and old students. All are ambassadors of a helping, caring and positive thinking culture.
