Healthcare
Where access is the difference between a manageable problem and a life-changing one.
Four strands, one purpose.
The philanthropic work of John Margerison, gathered in one place. Practical support, given directly to the people already doing the work.
It is not a trust or a foundation. There is no committee, no application window and no overhead.
Just a long-held conviction that support should reach the people already doing the work, and that it should arrive without conditions attached to it. John Margerison funds it personally. Some of it runs through established charities he has supported for more than a decade; some he arranges himself, person to person. Most of what he gives is small, direct, and not recorded on this site.
Children & young people
Whose circumstances are never of their own making.
Education
The only form of help that compounds.
Disaster relief
Given quickly, because that is the only way it counts.
