The Trust has always been most fortunate in the support it has received from various groups; whether schools, churches, rotarians, masons or even just loose assortments of people. Groups help us by raising vital funds for our work and we can help them establish links with similar Ugandan groups.

Groups or organisations who have fostered links with parallel Ugandan organisations can often take advantage of the Busoga House in Jinja to accomodate groups on visits, or volunteers on a longer term basis.

Bristol Cathedral Choir School

Bristol Cathedral School (as it then was) sent their first pair of Gap Year students to Uganda in 1987 to work with the Busoga Trust. Later the Link with St. James’s School was set up and the BCS students worked there, but the connection with the Trust was maintained because the students and then the school trips always stayed at the BT House. BCS students have always regarded the BT House as their home, and both they and school trip groups have enjoyed informative days out to see the work of the Trust.

Over the years the School has raised money for the Busoga Trust on various occasions. Wells have been funded by teachers Niall Hoskin (co-ordinator of the school’s link with St. James’s) and Peter Bond (retired co-ordinator), and also by a staff group who undertook a Three Peaks Challenge in 2003.
