N4 solutions"Just as successful businesses focus on a core activity/sector/product It makes sense to me to focus our CSR commitment on one organisation. That organisation is the National Star College. An inspiring place that offers a completely different stimulus and gives a completely different perspective to achievement. Seeing first hand the impact the college has on both student and parents and the journey to independent living is inspiring. The inspiration adds fuel to the N4 fire and the circle goes on".
Steve Jones Chief Executive Officer N4 Solutions Limited
HSBC"HSBC is delighted to continue supporting the educational, sporting and pastoral work being under taken at the National Star College. Our employees enjoy the camaraderie of the students when they visit and they particularly enjoy challenging the students in a game of wheelchair basketball - which they invariably lose! The development and expansion of the College is vital in ensuring the benefits of the College are available to more and more students and, as an organisation, we are keen to remain actively involved."
Chris Hallam, Area Director HSBC
