Joining Canon Collins Trust has

been something of a homecoming.

It’s nearly 30 years since I first put

my head around the door of the old

International Defence and Aid Fund

building in Essex Road. I am

delighted to see how many of the

Trust’s supporters have remained

loyal over the years. My

predecessors, Sarah Nancollas and

Ethel de Keyser, built on this

support and over the past 30 years

we have enabled nearly 3,000

scholars to pursue their ambitions.

But the Trust’s focus is the future,

not the past. The people we support

have a vision of how they want

Africa to be. Some desire better

healthcare, universal access to

potable water, or more accountable

governments. As individuals they

have the power to make a

difference, and the Trust provides

access to specialist educational

opportunities to enable them to

achieve their goals.

In 2010 the Trust provided 129

scholarships to southern Africans.

By offering the majority for study in

Africa, we supported local

universities to address shortages of

resources and funds. We asked a

range of scholars to contribute to a

booklet anticipating the next 30

years in Africa. “I see us driving new

advances in green technology and

setting environmental sustainability

issues high on our agenda,” said

Alisa Amupolo from Namibia. “The

southern Africa I see in 2050 is one

where respect for human rights is a

culture that binds the region

together,” said Dewa Mavhinga from

Zimbabwe.

The Trust’s work relies on our

excellent partnerships with African

universities and NGOs. Our flagship

partnership is with the Faculty of

Education at the University of

Malawi, supporting their Masters in

Education Leadership, Policy and

Planning. In August we jointly

hosted a conference entitled Making

Education Inclusive and brought

together specialists in disability and

inclusion from across southern

Africa.

We celebrated ten years of our

partnership with Leigh Day & Co,

through which we have supported

forty-one law students at the

University of Western Cape. Thanks

to the generosity of a private donor

we continued our support for the

University of Fort Hare Library. We

supported 21 Zimbabweans to

qualify as doctors at the University

of Zambia and Malawi College of

Medicine. Through Graça Machel

we formed a partnership with

Universidade.es, enabling women

scholars to study tourism and

related subjects in Spain.

Our community-based projects

gained in strength. We completed

our primary education initiative in

Northern Cape, supported by Big

Lottery. We began work on a

Careers Centre to address

unemployment in Giyani, South

Africa, funded by JPMorgan. We

supported training for two

community healthcare groups in Port

Elizabeth South Africa, and primary

education in Malawi and Zimbabwe.

As ever our supporters found

innovative ways to contribute. In

May we celebrated 25 years since

the publication of Journey to Jo’burg

by Beverley Naidoo, from which the

Trust receives royalties. Our

celebration at SOAS was chaired by

Michael Rosen and featured writers

Njabulo Ndebele, Gillian Slovo and

Ret’sepile Makamane. In February

law firm SJ Berwin raised £15,000

through a Ladies’ Dinner in memory

of their colleague Catherine Bailey.

Volunteers from the University of

Westminster produced films of our

work. We received invaluable

support in memory of Ros Moger,

Terry Furlong, Elizabeth Bird and

James Learmonth amongst others.

I look forward to my first full year at

the Trust, also the Trust’s 30th

Anniversary. It will be a chance to

reflect on everything we have

achieved, and acknowledge those

who have been part of it. We look

forward to your continued support as

we address the challenges of the

future.
