## Charitable objects

> A grant making charity to support (in accordance with the laws of England and Wales) through fundraising, grass roots schemes operating worldwide at a direct level with little public visibility. These schemes will be selected due to the work they undertake and the limited levels of administration and cost in delivering the schemes. We anticipate that the majority of schemes will be of direct benefit to children to provide the following purposes? Prevention or relief of poverty? Advancement of education? Advancement of health or saving of lives? Advancement of citizenship or community development? The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage
