~ BTS ~ This is what happens when a Scottish headteacher and a lawyer team up - education meets outtakes! 📚🎥 Had a blast last Friday at Smallwood Primary filming with headteacher Fiona Loudon and CF’s CEO, Chitra Chandran, who took on the role of interviewer. Now to see if we can get a final cut without a blooper… wish us luck! 😂 Building a society where children are defined by potential, no circumstance 💙 #ChandranFoundation #Charity #EducationCharity #MentoringCharity #Charity2025 #LondonCharity

His deep commitment to others and his unwavering belief in the potential of every individual touched countless lives. His vision was to build a world where learning is supported by an environment of love, opportunity, and encouragement.

~ 5th Annual Frankham Fundraising Lunch in aid of the Chandran Foundation ~ A very big thank you to Steve Frankham, Pat Saville, and our Frankham family for yet another inspiring annual fundraising lunch. We couldn’t do what we do, without you. This year, the morning of the event held an especially poignant significance, as we said farewell to our former chairman of 20 years, Lord Herman Ouseley. While Herman’s presence was deeply missed, his spirit and commitment echoed within all of us. “It is only through collective effort that we can hope to make a real difference in the lives of those who are often overlooked.” Lord Herman George Ouseley, 24th March 1945 - 2nd October 2024.

Thank you Steve Frankham. MBE . And Frankham Group for what looks like will be another amazing fundraiser for children in poverty.

~ Rest in peace Lord Herman Ouseley, Former Chairman of the Chandran Foundation (1997 - 2018) ~ We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lord Herman Ouseley (24 March 1945 - 2 October 2024) at the age of 79. As Chairman of the Chandran Foundation from its birth in 1997, Lord Ouseley played a crucial role in shaping our mission, and his legacy continues to embody everything we stand for. He was a tireless champion of equality and social justice, dedicating his life to combating institutional racism and uplifting disadvantaged communities. Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and the many people whose lives he touched. We will never forget you 💙
