About Us
We are an independant contemporary art gallery based in Manchester City Centre run by Andrew Courtenay and Baiba Auria. We represent iconic traditional and progressive artists, some of whom are exclusive to our gallery.
Borders Children's Charity
Who are we?
We are a committee of volunteers
We have been helping children in the Borders for over 50 years
We provide financial assistance for children in desperate situations
We have virtually NO OVERHEADS – 99% of every penny raised goes direct to children in the Scottish Borders
We supported 215 applications in 2016/17, spending £48,723*
In 2017 we were awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service – the MBE for voluntary groups
Read our 2019 Chair’s Annual Report
*Figures based on 2016/17 accounts
How do we help?
We provide beds, bedding, bedroom furniture and floor rugs – often children are either sharing beds, have no bed, or what they do have is in an appalling condition
We assist with special equipment and funding for various disability needs – physical and mental
We give clothing and footwear – a basic need that too many Borders families struggle to meet
We finance requests for treats or holidays for young carers who are often not only looking after a parent, but siblings as well
We enable children in chaotic, stressful and abusive circumstances to enjoy activities – such as hobbies, sporting activities or school trips
How do we operate?
We receive applications from professionals working with Borders children – social workers, head teachers, community nurses, health visitors, etc
We meet monthly to discuss requests and allocate funds
Urgent requests are fast tracked to ensure children receive the funding immediately
