Our Charity since 2024
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world – ranked 144 out of 196 by the World Bank.
In Malawi, 50% of the population live below the poverty line and 25% live in extreme poverty.
Period Poverty is defined as “the lack of access to sanitary products due to financial constraints”.
Most women and girls that we speak to in Malawi cannot afford sanitary products.
80% of Malawi’s population lives in rural areas and period poverty is a widespread and unspoken problem.
54% of females we have given cups to have only ever used cloth rags for their periods.
This is why we started UFULU and why we give menstrual cups for free.
Ufulu believes that sanitary products are a basic human right.

We are a valued search and rescue charity that seeks to save lives at Beachy Head, East Sussex.
We patrol on foot and by car and respond to emergency calls locating anyone at risk.
Using our skills in crisis intervention we offer supportive listening, to start a dialogue and to encourage more hopeful solutions than suicide.
We work alongside local services helping people to access support. All our chaplains are Christians and are members of local churches.

We consider the work we do for charity and the wider community as an integral part of our contribution to Charleston House, Bede’s School and our local services.
In January 2021, we lost Rachael Woollett, suddenly and unexpectedly.
Rachael had been a Deputy Head at Bede's School, East Sussex, for ten years, and beloved tutor in Charleston House. She brought a passion to her work, and a determination to always do the right thing for the children she felt privileged to serve. Selfless, dedicated, sensitive, and thoughtful, she was a great teacher, a great school leader, a great colleague, and a great friend.
Rachael's first love was cricket. Whether it was watching England play, or supporting the school's various teams, she was at her happiest sitting on the boundary, following a match.
For this reason in her memory, we chose Chance to Shine as our charity, whose programmes support thousands of young people across the UK, often from marginalised backgrounds. Chance to Shine is a national charity that aims to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket. They believe that cricket can help to develop the personal, social and physical skills of the 500,000 children that they work with every year.
Using cricket and sport to build self-esteem, and providing a sense of achievement - and fun: this is exactly what Rachael loved about cricket, and sport.

When not face to face, students and house staff communicate via google classroom. Every tutor group in Charleston has its own google classroom, so to does the whole house.
