REPORT
Yasmin Broughton PLC Foundation Chair
Thank you to our donors Simply put, if it was not for big hearted, generous supporters, the PLC Foundation would not be able to continue to support PLC. Thank you to our donors for donating the funds that we need to make a difference in the lives of young people in the form of scholarships and bursaries, and to support our mission: “to serve as an independent manager and custodian for the provision of sustainable financial support to PLC over the long term”. I would like to extend the Foundation’s gratitude to members of the PLC community who volunteer their time to the Foundation Board; James Mactier, Carlo Franchina, Mark Hector and Morgen Lewis. This year, we also welcome new members to the Foundation Board and Investment Committee.
