Waterford Charity Details
Due to the ongoing interest in Waterford I thought it would be an idea to repeat the address to which people can send donations.
All cheques should be made payable to The Waterford Bursary Fund and addressed to:
Waterford School Trust
13 College Lane,
LONDON NW5 1BJ
As all money is converted into Rands it is probable preferable to send cheques in your local currency – after all, why pay two sets of conversion fees to the banks?
One last note, if you expect a reply don’t forget to mention REG – and also a SAE wouldn’t go astray either. Someone has to pay the postage after all.
Waterford is much more than a charity REG supports, as Richard is actually one of the patrons of the charity, and quite possibly the only one who actually attended the school. Other patrons include Lord and Lady Attenborough and Michael Heslop. It’s full name is Waterford Kamhlaba. It is a "school" in Mbabane for students ages 11-19. REG attended it after Swaziland gained it’s independence and his father was no longer the Minister of Education. It is a private school as opposed to a public one.
In an interview published in the Daily Mail a couple of years ago, Richard promised to personally reply to anyone who made a donation in his name. Obviously he’s a man of his word and he still honours this commitment.
