The Foundation was quick to react to the recent devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It encouraged the settings within Dukes Education to fundraise and offered to match the funds raised. The nurseries, schools, colleges and Dukes Plus network set to work with a wonderful array of activities and raised over £30,000 which has been doubled. This has been sent to the DEC to help them in supporting the 18 million people directly affected by earthquakes and to help rebuild their community.
