Michael Bowden is raising money for Rowdeford Charity Trust
“Mike Bowden's fundraising”

on 2 August 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We raised £1million in ten years to develop facilities at Rowdeford School for pupils with complex learning difficulties. They leave school full of confidence, but do not often find work, so we are now creating an Eco Learning Centre to equip them with skills to enhance their employment prospects.
