Opal Foundation
The Opal Foundation was founded by Stuart Wall, and is funded primarily by profits from Opal Property Group.
The Aim of the Opal Foundation is to support children and young people – to give them opportunities that they may not ordinarily be given, which will ultimately enrich and add value to their lives. We want to make a difference to the community which we are a part of.
The causes we support:
The World Choir Games 2008 – Graz, Austria
The Opal Foundation is providing financial support to a number of schools, to enable children who may not be academically gifted but show an interest or a talent in signing, to attend a major event with choirs from all over the world. In turn, this will enrich their lives and may even influence them to pursue a career in music.
Manchester Children’s Hospital.
£100,000 to assist in the building of a parental unit, to enable parents to stay with sick children to aid recovery.
MANCAT
£100,000 to assist in providing financial support to young people to enable them to attend college, where families cannot offer this support.
Cedar Mount High School
Almost £50,000 given to help the inner city school, with social diversity as one of its major challenges, gain Science Academy Status – and enabling access to a further £200,000 of government funding, providing continuing improvement and opportunities for the pupils.
In addition to the formal activities of the Opal Foundation, Opal Staff are highly active in other charitable endeavours - raising money and volunteering time for both well known national charities, as well as local organisations based in the communities we work in.
