All donations received at public lectures during 2010 will be given to UBSOS (University of Buckingham Supporting Overseas Schooling) which raises money to help educate children in deprived countries. Many of these countries are home to Buckingham's alumni and students and we will be using their local knowledge and expertise to make the best use of the money collected for long-term projects in the regions.
