About the table
Chartered in 2006 as a zero overhead charitable trust. Run entirely by volunteers from business, technology, medicine, law, finance and more.
Nobody draws a salary and no donation pays for administration. What we raise, we build with, and we stay with our schools long after the ribbon is cut.
