Contract caterers The Brookwood Partnership have teamed up with charity 'Build Africa' to launch a new corporate responsibility project.

Kate Martin, managing partner from The Brookwood Partnership helped launch the 'Build a School' initiative.

Brookwood's Planet Matters team have involved all team members within the company to make a difference and be part of fundraising for this charity this year.

After a lot of research, Brookwood decided to work with the charity 'Build Africa' and are challenging their employees to raise £35,000 between now and December 2009 to build The Brookwood School in Uganda.

Through 'Build a School', Brookwood will support a school that currently teaches classes in makeshift structures without furniture or learning materials.

They will transform the school by building classrooms and sanitation facilities; by providing a water supply and desks.

Teachers and parents will be helped to form effective committees to take responsibility for the maintenance and development of the school, safeguarding its future and guaranteeing a decent education for generations to come.

Kate, Sue and Graham the Managing Partners started the fund raising by presenting a cheque for £1000 at the Brookwood's Managers Conference on Saturday 8th November.
