Celebrating the life of Mary Barker

Fundraising for Their Future Today
Mary was a life time educator and leader. In 1955, at the end of a "tour" in Germany, her Head Teacher wrote, "Miss Greaves class was a busy one, where the children worked with purposeful energy. A very pleasant atmosphere prevailed which was inspired by the high quality of her gentle, understanding manner." Mary worked in schools in North and West London, ending her career as Head Teacher of Avonmore School in North Kensington.
In retirement she travelled and developed her interests in art, music and gardening.
In appreciation of her GP who did so much to enable Mary to stay in her beloved home, we ask family and friends to give to Their Future Today.
TFT is committed to reuniting children who have been abandoned through poverty with their families, and we are working with National Childcare services to identify children in the institution with potential family relationships, then seek out the parent or relative to assess their needs.Where safe and possible we assist with re-adoption through the courts, establish the children in local schools, and provide housing and support until the reunited family can reach self-sufficiency and independence through income generation training.
* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
