Each child is sponsored; this covers many of our costs.<\/p>\n<p>This month TLC has started a new fundraising drive to support costs not covered by sponsorship and other regular donations. It\u2019s called Dedicated Donors (DDs) and aspires to create a regular \u00a310\/month base (or less, or more!) so we can buy bikes where secondary students have long distances to travel between home, school, and TLC centres.<\/p>\n<p>(The extra tuition happening in the photo right is currently paid for by some Cambridge Quakers.
