Our colleagues in Romania have launched the Fundatia FARA Educational Bursaries, a new scholarship scheme to encourage students from disadvantaged backgrounds to continue their education.

Since its foundation in 1992, FARA Charity Shops has recruited staff of both sexes, one of the Company’s core values being the promotion of equality, inclusion, and diversity.

“You may or not know that I love a charity shop haul, much more than mooching around mainstream stores. You can find such gems, it’s a more sustainable route, supports a good cause; and kinder to your purse. You have to know where to shop though! I’m lucky enough to have a couple of favourite charity shop haunts on my doorstep in Notting Hill, one being @faracharityshops which is by far my favourite.

Andreea’s story of life working as a Social Worker on FARA’s Tackling Poverty Through Education programme.

Dana was born in 1993 just after the fall of Ceausescu and was abandoned shortly after birth due to her parents inability to care for her.

Eugen was abandoned at birth by his mother due to abject poverty, he lived in various state institutions until 2011.

Adela was abandoned as a small child to a life of neglect in a state institution.

A mighty way to fundraise!

Edward Dijmarescu challenged himself to climb Mount Elbrus to raise money for FARA Charity, such a kind gesture and one we are very grateful for. Read Edward's summit day journal - its pretty inspiring.
