The Black Heart Foundation scholarship has helped me in ways that are difficult to articulate in words. Firstly, I remain wholly grateful for the Foundation’s monetary support, without which I wouldn’t have had the means to enroll on the Legal and Political Theory MA course at UCL…

Note the special ethos of inspiration, creativity and commitment that The Black Heart Foundation achieves through its leadership and programmes.

Premier Event

“undoubtedly the premier event of its kind”

“Thank you and all the rest of the team for organising as always the most fabulous day at Wentworth; it is undoubtedly the premier event of its kind, although as you know my golfing experience is somewhat limited. The sheer amount of effort and organisation is immense and delighted that so much money was raised.”

Postitive Change

“people who want to bring a positive change”

“Working with The Black Heart Foundation is fantastic. It gives a sense of pride to be working with a dedicated team of people who want to bring a positive change in peoples lives.”

What a Triumph

“what a triumph,
what a tour de force!”

“What a triumph, what a tour de force! After many years in the circle of golf, cricket, music and film charity events, I can say with hand on heart (Black Heart) that your hospitality, generosity and warmth goes to create the greatest day of them all.”

Inspirational

“it’s very inspirational”

“A HUGE thank you for the most fantastic day possible. You do fantastic work with your Black Heart Foundation and it’s very inspirational. The day, the evening, the company, the golf, the fundraising, the music, the sports stars, the midnight floodlit golf, the generous gifts and all the other events were just superb – couldn’t have been better!”

Sizable Legacy

“golf days are leaving a sizable legacy”

“It is great to see the success being fostered at EYLA and that, quite apart from the enjoyment, shows that your golf days are leaving a sizable legacy.”
