Our Aims
Global Polio Eradication Initiative, whose main objective is to get rid of Polio in the world. At the moment, only three countries are left to be vaccinated; Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. However, the virus can re-establish itself in other countries that were once Polio-free and that is what has happened in Chad, Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The GPER is constantly working to ensure that children and adults in the third world can live a life free from the worries Polio brings.

Scott Hardy Foundation, set up in 2010 to support the families of members of the Armed forces who have either died while serving or as a result of injuries that they had gotten while serving. The Foundation helps these families financially, by raising money to help the families cope with the costs of the funerals and repatriation. The Foundation gives people such a huge amount of support in their difficult times and has had a lasting, positive impact to all the families the Foundation has reached.
