Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Again, i'm happy to dig out my running shoes for an
excellent cause!
This year our Cobus Foundation Charity is the Hull
Children's University which provide opportunities to children who wouldn't
necessarily get the chance without this charity in place. Your donation goes
towards providing a place to a local Hull Child getting to experiencing trips
such as visiting london and the houses of parliament.
A little about the Charity...
Currently over 16,000 children in our city are living in
poverty and these children may not have access to the opportunities that other
children may receive. Many of these children have never left Hull and some have
never even ventured into the city centre. We strongly believe that ALL children
should get to see beyond the end of their street and experience the world
around them. We strive to help children believe that they can achieve their
dreams and we give them the confidence to try. We believe that every child is
intelligent in different ways; they just need to opportunity to discover their
hidden talents and ignite their aspirations for the future.
We provide learning experiences for children who would
otherwise never get a chance to take part in them. Being an inclusive
organisation, we take full classes of children on our experiences and we are
proud to say that we are currently working with over 80% of the primary schools
in the city and 30% of secondary schools. Whether it is a trip to London to
have a sleepover under the dinosaurs in the Natural History Museum or if it is
visiting a local business to learn about that industry, all of our children
leave these experiences happy, excited and with new aspirations that they will
hopefully carry with them into adulthood. We aim to put the fire into their
bellies that will help them to succeed!
