We started supporting the foundation Startchance in early 2023. Startchance aims to give children and young people a perspective for the future whose family background would not automatically offer this. The foundation is active at six schools in the south of Munich, where it offers around 160 children and young people two hours of homework supervision every Friday afternoon, followed by an hour of fun and sport for everyone. The support is provided by abount 80 coaches who are usually Year 11-13 pupils, university students or teachers.

The support offered is long-term and free of charge for the parents. The aim is to accompany the children and young people long term, often until they start their further studies or professional life. The administration costs are covered by a strong partner, all donations go entirely to the benefit of the pupils.

We were delighted to meet Dominik again today, who will be completing his A-Levels at Framlingham College in two weeks' time. Dominik originally wanted to spend only one term at Framlingham in Year 8, but it turned into five years in total. His English is so good that he now prefers it over speaking German. His current role as Head of CCF is, in his words, the peak of his stay at Framlingham. After completing his A-Levels, Dominik plans to study law or politics. Framlingham was the best decision of his life, he confirmed to us again today!
