OUR 2010 CHARITY PARTNERS

The Martin Currie Charitable Foundation is a registered charity (SCO37106) run by the staff of Martin Currie Investment Management, who select good causes to benefit from the firm's charitable activities. In 2010 the main beneficiaries of the Martin Currie Rob Roy Challenge will be Sightsavers, The Prince's Trust, PSYBT and The NSPCC, who collectively will share at least 75% of the proceeds of the event. Below we provide short profiles of our main charity partners for 2010.

Sightsavers

Sightsavers' vision is a world where no-one is blind from avoidable causes and where visually impaired people participate equally in society. We are an international organisation working with partners in over 30 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote equality of opportunity for disabled people.

We prevent, treat and cure avoidable blindness and promote eye health. We also support people who are irreversibly blind or severely visually impaired by providing education, counselling and training. We help the people who need it most - those living in poverty in some of the world's least served communities. For someone who is blind, the gift of sight is the greatest gift of all.

Sightsavers is a registered charity: 207544 / SC038110

The Prince's Trust

The Prince's Trust helps young people overcome barriers and get their lives working. Through practical support including training, mentoring and financial assistance, we help 14-30 year olds realise their potential and transform their lives. All of our activities - programmes, partnerships, fundraising - have one overall purpose: to reach young people in the UK who face more barriers than most, and help them get past those barriers so they can get their lives working and make a positive contribution to society. Last year the Prince's Trust supported 37,900 young people across the UK.

PSYBT The Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust was established in 1989 to help young people across Scotland set up and continue in business. We work with 18-25 year olds, providing a combination of essential seed loan funding, and a package of professional support, including the provision of a volunteer business mentor, to guide and advise the young people, whoever they are and wherever they come from. PSYBT has a particular concern for the disadvantaged. PSYBT helps to establish over 550 new businesses each year, from chimney sweeps to graphic designers, hairdressers to engineers.

	NSPCC The NSPCC is the UK's leading children charity specialising in child protection and the prevention of cruelty to children.

	The NSPCC runs projects and services across the United Kingdom and Channel Islands, including ChildLine, the UK's free, confidential 24-hour helpline for children and young people. At ChildLine trained volunteer counsellors comfort, advise, support and protect children and young people who may feel they have nowhere else to turn. Through the Child's Voice Appeal the NSPCC wants to transform ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline for adults who are concerned about a child, to answer more calls for help and give children a wider range of choices and options in the way they contact them, so that they can be there whenever or wherever children need them.
