A message from sir graham Wylie

“I was brought up in the North East. It’s where I set up business, it’s where I live and it’s where I’m bringing up my own children. I have been very lucky in life and whilst I’ve been heavily involved in the past raising money for, and donating to, charities across the region, the aim of my Foundation is to create a new way of giving, which will benefit children in our region for generation after generation after generation”
