Ocean Stars Trust are delighted to announce that they were Runners-Up at this year's Charity Governance Awards in the Category Improving Impact in Small Charities (0-3 Paid Staff).

Dan Corry, CEO of NPC explained, "This category explores the role that boards play in improving outcomes, and learning. The category focuses on smaller organisations. Small charities are at the heart of communities, tackling inequalities and supporting change. Change is a constant for these organisations, and we want to celebrate the way their boards help them to learn and adapt and so improve their impact."

About Volunteering Volunteer Feedback

"I will never forget this trip. The students here are so grateful for everything. At home students don't value things in the same way. I will remember a lot about this trip."

Volunteer with Children in Sri Lanka

This is an amazing experience that my daughter will never forget and is an experience that we as parents will never be able to give her. She has come back inspired and full of confidence and gained several life skills along the way. Sri Lanka was really special. Thank you.
