In July 2017, we arranged for ABS to donate £1,000 to a 17-year old student, Charlotte Lumb from Brooksbank School, for her volunteer trip to Sri Lanka.

Charlotte spent two weeks of her summer holiday in the Southern town of Ambalangoda. The trip was made up of four areas of activity: teaching English to orphans, caring for retired elephants, looking after turtles and their eggs and helping to paint a local temple.

Dave, Marketing & CSR Director, said:

“Charlotte contacted us asking for support for her trip and we were extremely impressed with her initial email and her presentation in front of the ABS board. Sri Lanka is a place close to our hearts and as a student at a local school we were delighted ABS were to be able to support Charlotte’s trip.”
