| FOUNDATION
FOR EASING RISKS OF AID CHARITIES |

A
non-profit risk management consultancy has been set up to help charities
involved in the delivery of humanitarian aid to war-torn areas.
The Blue Sky Group Foundation is part of Blue Sky Group International, which
is the first security and risk management company in the UK with an "ethical
oversight" committee.
The foundation operates on a not-for-profit basis with national and international
charities to understand and manage the risks associated with delivering
humanitarian assistance in hostile environments.
Robert Partridge, commercial director at Blue Sky Group International, comments:
"Establishing the foundation is a logical next step for a company like ours.
We decided that our founding principles should incorporate an ethical oversight
committee that would look at all the work we undertake and ensure that they
comply with our strict codes of practice."
The foundation is able to draw on the experience of the whole Blue Sky Group,
which has worked in a range of environments conducting risk assessments
and security assistance.
These include Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Uganda, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of
Congo, Angola, Thailand, Turkey and the West Bank.
