REPORTS<br />

Ryan Walker meeting the Prince of Wales at AMREF Africa launch of ‘Health in Her Hands’.<br />

discuss Amref’s work with Prince Charles,<br />

who is the charity’s long-time patron. Of<br />

his meeting with the Prince, Ryan recalls:<br />

‘I’m very grateful to Amref and Wolfson for<br />

providing me with that opportunity. I did my<br />

best to inform him of some of the excellent<br />

work that Wolfson does in supporting<br />

Amref. He was very interested in what I had<br />

to say, and was particularly impressed that<br />

the <strong>College</strong>’s relationship with AMREF has<br />

been just as long as his tenure as patron.’<br />

In April Wolfson donated £4,800 to<br />

‘Health in Her Hands’: we sent as much<br />

as we possibly could, knowing that the UK<br />

Government would match all the public<br />

funds donated to the project; this meant<br />

that Wolfson’s £4,800 became £9,600. We<br />

also gave £3,000 to fund the Wolfson-Amref<br />

Bursary, which supports students taking the<br />

charity’s flagship Diploma in Community<br />

Health.<br />

It has been a truly amazing year of<br />

fundraising. To everyone who has made<br />

these donations possible – a very warm and<br />

appreciative thank you.<br />
