It is a charity, based in East Sussex, dedicated to offering life-changing opportunities to young people from developing countries around the world. That includes providing scholarships to approx. 30 individuals annually to come to the UK to study International Baccalaureate for two years.

I was one of the fortunate ones to benefit from one such scholarship 14 years ago and the opportunity and experience changed my life for the better; even my wife Dezy, whom I met at Pestalozzi, would agree to that (except possibly the meeting me part!) 

This is a small and much overdue effort on my part to raise awareness of (and some funds if you would please!) this fantastic charity and the excellent work it does.

Please visit the website below if you want to know more about the charity, or even better come and talk to me. However, be warned that I could talk hours on end about Pestalozzi.

I would be grateful for any donation received. With some help from my employer, Diageo, I am committing to match any funds raised here up to the original target amount of £500!
