SHAMROCK EDUCATION TRUST UK CHARITY #1,158,847
www.shamrockeducationtrust.org
Shamrock Education Trust was set up by Andy Ryder, Sue Bohane and Todd Death in 2013 to support Shamrock School in Nepal with much needed funding. The initial goal was to provide enough funds to pay for the teachers’ salaries. As the trust built a community of individual and organizational sponsors it was then able to take on the responsibility for funding the whole operation. As a UK charity the trust makes an annual declaration to the UK Charities Commission and is fully compliant with all its rules and regulations. The trust is also able to claim 25% Gift Aid from the UK government on top of every donation made by UK tax payers.

Cheltenham College has been educating young people since 1841. They are one of the foremost public co-educational boarding schools in the country, with an enviable reputation for academic achievement and breadth of extra-curricular opportunities.
In 2009 Harriette Tilley followed in her father’s footsteps by visiting Shamrock School. She volunteered with her classmates Emily Golden and Camilla Gray for a period of one month. A couple of years later Lucy Gray and Darcey Edwards trekked out to continue in the Cheltenham college tradition. By 2015 Fiona and Gordon Busbridge were ready to retire from the college and spent 3 months having the time of their lives. In July 2015, Dominic Faulkner, who supported the previous expeditions, arranged closer ties with the school. Donations from events at Cheltenham College have helped provide earthquake victims with food, shelter and forward planning (facilitated by Shamrock School & Staff).
From 2016 Cheltenham College have pledged sponsorship for two children in each class at Shamrock School.
Dominic Faulkner is a member of the Shamrock School Governing Committee responsible for fundraising and child protection policies.
