The Magic Future Foundation's mission is to transform the trajectory of communities and countries, one school at a time. We believe that education is a powerful poverty-fighting tool that children and their families can take, own, and run with for generations to come. The Magic Future Foundation was set up by the Wissenbach family back in 2013. And after building 4 schools as a family, we hoped one day to build more. However in 2019, we lost our first son and brother, Oli Wissenbach, tragically and unexpectedly. After Oli passed, we discovered writings that he'd written on Quora under a pseudonym called Sam Leaper. And in one of his works, he'd written a list of what he wanted to be true when he died. One of which read "the world better because I was here". This is now the foundation's purpose: world better because. And the ignition behind our 100 Schools Project to build 100 schools across the world's economically poorest countries. Working with partner organisation, buildOn, we've already reached 30 schools funded, with 26 built - but we're looking to grow our reach, community and get to that 100!

The Mulberry Bush, established in 1948, works with some of the most emotionally troubled and traumatised primary school-aged children in the country. Children come to our school in Standlake having experienced neglect and abuse, usually with a series of failed school and home placements. We provide residential care, education and therapy, with the aim of helping the children to face up to their trauma and most importantly, learn how to have hope, believe in themselves and their potential for a happy future. These days, The Mulberry Bush is so much more than a school. We use our knowledge and research to work with professionals from all over the country and abroad who work with children with mental health difficulties as a result of early trauma. That might be other special schools, mainstream schools, foster carers, children’s homes and youth justice settings. The Mulberry Bush provides consultancy, support, and training to help them work more effectively and therapeutically with their most challenging and vulnerable young people and to support each other. Local authorities pay fees that cover the basic cost of care and education. However, these don’t cover refurbishment, capital development, extra therapy or any of the fun, extra-curricular activities that other children take for granted. Money raised can also be used to develop new services across the charity that enable us to reach even more vulnerable children, families and communities.
