Apr 28 2011: Building a brighter future with VAT Solutions

 THE team at Sheffield company VAT Solutions believe that a successful future lies in education…both at home and abroad.

And that’s why the company is supporting two important learning projects, one in South Yorkshire and the other in South Africa.

Partners Rob Burton and Robin Simpson are members of the 480 Club, the Sheffield organisation that provides financial support to the city’s Whirlow Hall Farm.

For £480 per year, the company sponsors a class from a Sheffield school, allowing inner city youngsters the important opportunity to experience country life.

Whirlow Hall Farm Trust was founded in 1979 as an educational trust working with inner city children and young people with special needs or disabilities and since that date, more 250,000 children have visited Whirlow on a daily or residential basis with the support of companies like VAT Solutions.

At the same time, though, the Nether Edge company is also sponsoring a South African youngster through her school days.

Hlumela Malongineni is a 14-year-old pupil at Rhodes High School in the Cape Town suburb of Mowbray in South Africa.

An orphan from the age of four, she has struggled to receive a full education and the funding that Vat Solutions is providing will enable her to complete her studies and fulfill her dreams of a successful business career.

“Both at home and abroad, education is a vital for every community’s future,” said Rob.


“The two projects we are supporting might not appear to have much in common but they are both about giving the children involved the best possible start.


“The money we provide is enough to pay Hlumela’s fees, buys equipment and clothing and even provide her with bus fares, all the things she really needs but which would probably be beyond her means if she had nobody to help her.

“Just as with the backing we give to Whirlow Hall Farm, it’s practical support that will hopefully make a difference to a young person’s future – and that has to be a sound investment!”
