Went to an interesting and thought-provoking meeting of a local charity in Duxford - the Kings Educational Trust - which makes small grants to young people from the village to help with their education. The charity is not to do with the Crown, but the Rev"d King who was so fond of the village that he left money to it some 200 years ago.
Although with a small budget, it is very efficient as all the income of the charity goes into the grants, with no overheads. Afterwards we talked about the costs of further education on young people nowadays, and the impact it must have when families are weighing up the affordability of it all.
