The Foundation is a registered charity that focuses on Heritage, Learning, Community and Enterprise. It is responsible for the care of the Grade I Listed Sir John Moore School Building and keeping the legacy of Sir John Moore alive. It receives no regular funding to do this.
The Foundation strives to be relevant to the local community in a number of ways. SJMF welcomes support and has a number of opportunities for local people to get involved. Please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss any of the volunteer roles available. Any other ideas or thoughts are always welcome too.
