Your donations will be going to support the Broxbourne Youth Council's Youth Mayor's charities of the year. The Youth Mayor has selected The OLLIE Foundation & Talk Education Partnership.

The OLLIE Foundation is charity that was set up by three parents who all lost their children to suicide. Stuart, Chris and Jane decided they wanted to do everything they could to ensure that no other parent would endure what they've had to and registered the charity in May 2016. OLLIE stands for "One Life Lost Is Enough" and our charitable aim is to deliver suicide awareness, intervention and prevention training by empowering professionals and young adults in their own communities to lead suicide prevention activities, It is widely accepted in society that with appropriate support and education, suicide can be prevented.

The Talk Education Partnership (TEP) is an international charity working with local educators to improve standards of primary education in eastern Uganda. Based in Tororo district in eastern Uganda, we are working to assist local educators through providing free professional training and addressing key areas of concern such as reading skills in young learners. We are also working to assist schools in the provision of educational resources, developing key infrastructure such as classrooms and access to safe drinking water.

Thank you for supporting the Youth Mayor's charities of the Year. Your money will be going to support deserving causes.
