The AHCF aims to relieve financial hardship and improve the education of children and young people suffering from any form of poverty, illness or disability, in the UK and abroad. We give small grants and keep overheads to minimum. We raise money anyway by anyone. e.g. sewing educational displays. Stewarding volunteers at Glastonbury Festival make a great contribution to our funds.
