First endorsements!

I am delighted that the Culture Secretary, Andy Burnham, who recently announced that students should have access to at least five hours of cultural activities a week, has given his support to the GBHT:

"I am delighted to be able to support the new Gareth Butler History Trust. We know that cultural and educational activities outside the classroom can have a huge impact on a child's development and this Trust will enable all young people to take advantage of the benefits school trips can offer." Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport

Lord Andrew Adonis, Schools Under-Secretary at the Department for Children, Schools and Families, and official biographer of Roy Jenkins, has also kindly given an endorsement:

“This is an immensely worthwhile venture which I am sure would have had Gareth's passionate support. It will bring history, and the agonies of history, to life in a vivid way for young people who might not otherwise have the chance to visit great historic sites, and it will create memories and experiences for them that will remain for the rest of their lives." Lord Andrew Adonis, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Schools and Learners
