more about us |
We are based currently in a pleasant farm house in the Cotswold's, a pleasant area of England. We are the last house in a small village, with views across the countryside in most directions and in the summer when the leaves are on the trees can see few houses. Wildlife is all around us, pheasants, partridges and many smaller birds are in the garden most of the time, a fox and badgers visit most days and in the summer months we have a wide range of birds bringing their young to our bird table.
When formed we were originally based in South Wales, but moved to this area some years back so as to be more central within the UK.
Providing administrative support may not sound like a very exciting thing to be involved in, but it has allowed us to be involved in very many club events, projects and more, helping out in organizing annual competitions for some and in a very varied collection of activities from sorting out what actors need to be on set for a TV production, to chasing up entries for a directory. We do get to meet many who the clubs and projects have helped and to be instrumental in the design of new projects, not only to take place in the UK, but in many other countries as well.
Money is not the driving force and we don't make a profit very often, we are a part of a now larger growing family of organizations , and companies that are promoting a philosophy of improving peoples lives. Before you think this sounds peculiar perhaps I should say it has nothing to do with politics or religion, and is driven by the philosophy of an international non profit organization called New Atlantis. New Atlantis and others including us, chat about what could be done to improve peoples lives, nothing new there you may say, but what is different is that they then set about doing it. Usually this involves a new club or non profit organization, sometimes a company and sometimes a project. Our role in some of these is in handling a lot of the administration, for these new entities. Without us we like to think the projects would just not have been able to have run.
