The QKA trekkers will climb the Derbyshire 3 peaks of Bleaklow Head , Higher Shelf stones and Kinder Scout in one day. We will raise money for the Pomegranate Opportunities trust .
We are a team of past and present staff from Queen Katharine Academy in Peterborough , we are all levels of fitness and this will be a challenge to the majority of us.
The Pomegranate Opportunities Trust is a Registered Charitable Trust that supports students who study currently at Queen Katharine Academy, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, UK.
Queen Katharine Academy [QKA] joined The Thomas Deacon Educational Trust [TDET] as part of a Multi Academy Trust in 2017. A capital sum was carried over to the newly created Queen Katharine Academy to be used specifically for the benefit of those students at QKA who were in need. It was named: ‘The Enterprise Fund’. TDET and QKA Academy Committee members worked together to transfer the funds to a new and separate Charity Trust to be administered by seven trustees.
The new Trust is called: Pomegranate Opportunities Trust.
Capital from the Trust is invested at an advantageous interest rate and this interest is used each year for the benefit of QKA students. The Trust engages in fund-raising activities and seeks sponsorship to augment the income from the capital.
The Trust is independent and governed by its own Trustees but exists exclusively to support QKA students. The purpose of the Trust is:
‘The prevention or relief of poverty of Queen Katharine students who are in need because of financial hardship or other disadvantage by providing grants, items and services to those in need and/or to charities or other organizations working to prevent or relieve poverty and/or financial hardship’.
The Trust exists to advance opportunities for all students through a rolling programme of bids/requests for funding from students currently studying at QKA who complete an application form. It is the collective responsibility of the seven Trust members to decide on successful student bids.
