This year, we raised R2.5 million to support the Blair Atholl Pre-Primary School, in partnership with the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation, helping to secure its future through a Citadel-managed endowment fund. More than 125 children from the surrounding communities will benefit from this initiative. A heartfelt thank you to our partners, sponsors, donors and guests for being part of this journey.

At @ Blair Atholl Pre-Primary School, education represents far more than a classroom, it is the foundation for a future filled with possibility. Founded in 1990 by @garyplayer and the late Vivienne Player, the school provides quality education and daily meals to around 125 children from nearby communities. The school offers a nurturing environment where children gain confidence, adapt to structured learning and develop the skills needed to thrive. Through #ACitadelExperience, we help raise funds and manage a dedicated endowment that supports the long-term sustainability of the school, helping ensure that future generations of learners continue to benefit from this vital support. The structured approach ensures that every contribution creates a lasting impact by supporting education, nourishment and the opportunities to shape young lives. Meaningful impact is built through long-term commitment, partnership and purpose. #CitadelSA #ACitadelExperience
