Raymond Nicolet Trust Our mission is to enhance the educational prospects of children and students in Serbia and give them the best opportunities in life.

The Raymond Nicolet Trust was founded in December 2018 as a Registered Incorporated Organisation by Christine Fort-Hilcenko, Florence Bachelard-Bakal, and Tony Taylor. Raymond Nicolet was the godfather of Christine’s son, Lucas. It is in his memory that the trust was born. Raymond Nicolet was a former deputy Editor in Chief of the French daily newspaper L’Est Républicain. A humanist, tolerant and free-thinking individual, he enlisted at the age of 17 in the French Resistance to the occupier in an intelligence network for the Allied Forces, which led him to be decorated after the war by the French, British and Belgian authorities. His career brought him to travel and witness many inequalities in the world against which he fought with ardour. He focused mainly on helping disadvantaged children and orphans wherever he could. This project would have mobilized all his strength in support. Let us make him proud of us.

🌱 When you invest in education, you invest in the future.

We are proud to share the impact of a £5,000 donation from the Raymond Nicolet Trust to the Vuk Karadzic Center in Sombor, Serbia. 🇷🇸

Our funding helped create a new mobile learning space where students can learn, create, develop practical skills and grow in confidence.

For students studying Floriculture and Horticulture, the space has transformed practical learning — from preparing seedlings and caring for plants to creating floral arrangements and designing green spaces. 🌸🌿

But the impact goes beyond the classroom. The space is now also supporting younger pupils through workshops, individual learning, sensory activities and other educational programmes.

And perhaps most importantly, the students themselves can feel the difference. ❤️

As one student shared: “Practical training is much more interesting now.”

This is what meaningful charitable giving looks like: creating opportunities, building confidence and helping young people develop skills for a more independent future.

We are incredibly proud to have supported the Vuk Karadzic Center and grateful to the students, teachers and staff for showing us what can grow when the right opportunities are provided. 🌱

Because sometimes, a small investment can help create something that grows far beyond what we imagined.
