Broaden Out Their Horizons (BOTH) aims to do exactly what our name suggests for young people in the UK and South Africa. The students involved in BOTH's exchange projects benefit hugely in terms of their confidence, aspiration and determination. Students learn that they have much more similarities than differences with their peers thousands of miles away. In addition, they learn to understand the differences in context, to appreciate the advantages that chance gives to some and to strive harder to achieve their aims.

BOTH is now midway through our 5th exchange project. The visit to SA is fully funded by the government Turing Scheme. However, our USP is the reciprocal nature of our exchanges and we are still fundraising to make sure we can provide as many educational and enriching experiences as we can while they are here. We are aiming to raise another £10,000 to guarantee this.

If you would like a reminder of what we do and why we do it, please have a look at our recent posts:
