"Why on earth learn to kayak at the age of 86 and then decide to paddle from Bedford to Kings Lynn, some 85 miles or so? When we moved to Bedfordshire in 2023 we discovered the amazing Tibbs Dementia Foundation. Without their help, love and care, Annette and I would both be in institutions by now. She went into residential care in December 2024 and I started to learn to kayak, helped by the people at Canoe Trail. I fell into the river at the start of my first lesson in January, and haven't looked back!" - Patrick

“Whatever I’ve felt called to do in life, I’ve always been supported by friends or been able to get a scholarship to help with my studies. For many women around the world, that’s just not possible. The scholarships go to the men, and their own education is not considered to be important. The Li Tim-Oi Foundation, named in honour of Florence Li Tim-Oi, the first Anglican woman to be ordained as a priest, enables women to follow their calling, and they, in turn, go on to transform people’s lives in amazing ways.” - Christina
