ASCAT Hope Fund
To mark the Church's Jubilee Year 'Pilgrims of Hope', our Trust has established the ASCAT Hope Fund, a charitable arm of the Trust, raising money to support students and families across the Trust at times of crisis.
During the 15 years that a cohort of students may be with us, from Nursery through to 6th Form, there will sadly be too many occasions on which the lives of children and young people from within each cohort will be touched by significant hardship and difficulty. From economic hardship, to homelessness, serious illness and bereavement, it is the strong desire of the Trust to be able to support our school leaders and their teams to be able to provide in-the-moment, critical and practical support to families, that sadly if often lacking elsewhere in society. This is where the ASCAT Hope Fund comes into play.
In this Jubilee year we are aiming to build an initial pool of funds that can be directed to provide this urgent support in future years. Through fundraising at school and Trust level and charitable donations from individuals we look forward to making this much needed resource a reality. If you feel you are in a position to support us, by contributing to school level fundraising, or through making a personal donation to the Hope Fund, we would be incredibly grateful.
