Funds raised will be used to fund at least 15 students – 1 from each of the 16 Caribbean countries for their (typical) 3 year programmes at UWI; establish an Endowment for 3 Chairs for 5 years each; and to consolidate the BFUWI presence in the UK.

We are seeking contributions from individuals, companies, institutions and trusts across the UK.

As we are a registered UK charity, donations given in the UK will qualify for Gift Aid support from the UK Government.
