Aims
SHINE exists to help disadvantaged children and young people. We support programmes that concentrate on core educational subjects. Education provides choices. By funding best practice educational support projects SHINE is working to ensure that the participants can have choice and control in their lives.
SHINE operates as a business, rigorously evaluating the organisations and projects we fund to ensure the most effective intervention into young lives and the best possible value for money.
We want every penny of your donations to reach these projects so our trustees cover all our annual operating costs.
