In Memory of Professor John Hills.

We are fundraising to create an outdoor classroom, which will allow young people and their families who have limited access to outdoor space, to take part in fun and interactive programmes whatever the weather! 

Situated in the grounds of Trafford Hall, this classroom will enable us to engage with young people who are often held back by a lack of opportunity and provide them with a chance to reach their potential.

Volunteers will also have the opportunity to work on the build, so that we can help even more people to learn and embrace new skills.

The outdoor classroom will be built in memory of one of NCRC’s greatest supporters, Professor John Hills, with Dame Sue Owen launching this memorial fund in his honour.

John, who was married to Anne Power, Chair and founder of the National Communities Resource Centre (NCRC), was passionate about the work of the NCRC and Trafford Hall in helping people fulfil their potential. So far, with the amazing generosity of our supporters we have raised nearly £30,000!

Thank you to all our previous supporters who have donated to this fund!

Due to a recent change to the fundraising platform that we use, we are unable to display your donation on this page at this time, however, please be assured that we have received it and it is securely held and dedicated to this project.

Thank you for your kind donation in Professor Hills’ memory.
