Together we can make a difference!

INTO has over 400 staff and more than 2,000 students – a great pool of talent of all cultures and ages. INTO Giving is about using those talents to improve the lives of disadvantaged people around the world. INTO Giving is already working with educational charities in China, Zambia and the Gambia and many more will come, with no national, political or religious boundaries.

In January 3 cars successfully completed the Banjul Challenge, a difficult drive from Plymouth to Banjul in the Gambia.  As a result of this trip we were able to handover £11,000 to HELPING, our Gambian partnership charity, to pay for teacher training for 11 nursery school teachers.  Very soon you will be able to follow the progress of those teachers through a diary that will be posted on our new Facebook site.

Project Hope

Having raised over £16,000 we are now well on our way to funding our second project, the rebuilding of a school destroyed by the earthquake in the central Shaanxi province of China.  Each INTO Centre is now organising their own fundraising event to raise enough funds to fulfill our commitment to Project Hope.  Please see your fundraising and communications team to find out what is happening in your area and how you can help.
