projects

The Foundation raises much-needed funds for a range of school- and community-based projects that aim to improve the lives, opportunities and choices of children and young people. We want to support and encourage all those who deserve to overcome their disadvantages or develop their natural talents.

Here is a brief selection of how the money we have raised is helping to achieve these aims.

In conjunction with the Crimson Foundation we are going to be working closely together to help raise funds for the Outdoor Classroom which will be used by all ages. Keep an eye on this website for further information as the pupils themselves will be actively holding events too.

June 2008 – Art Competition

The Crimson Foundation is very proud to be associated with Archbishop Grimshaw and we have for the past 3 years sponsored the end of year Art Pieces. These are created by students taking their GCSE’s through to A Levels and are pieces that have either been done during the academic year or under examination conditions. Already the students are busy thinking about and creating their masterpieces and year on year the standard has got higher and higher. Prizes are awarded to the students and art materials are bought for the school.
