Honouring legacy, empowering the future.

I co-founded The Ronsisvalle Heritage, a London-based charitable organisation for education, young people and cultural heritage. It is where the value I create returns to the community.

Every child should have the tools to build their own future. We support young people in need through education, digital skills and a living connection with culture and nature.

We work with schools, institutions and partners who share our values, and we fund projects that can be followed, measured and improved year after year.

Our roots

Roncesvalles, in the Navarrese Pyrenees, has welcomed pilgrims on the Way of Saint James for nearly nine centuries. Its Royal Collegiate Church houses the Virgin of Roncesvalles, venerated by travellers crossing the mountains. The name Ronsisvalle recalls this crossroads of faith, history and hospitality, and the values I carry with me: welcome, service and care for those on their way.

Programmes

Education and digital skills

Coding schools and digital literacy for children who have no access to them, and scholarships towards international education. The language of technology opens doors that poverty keeps closed.

Cultural heritage

Exhibitions, workshops and research that help young people know and protect what they inherit.

Hospitality and welcome

Training in hospitality professions for young people, in the spirit of welcome that Roncesvalles has preserved for nearly nine centuries.

Youth and community

Support for schools, sport and outdoor activities that build confidence, discipline and a bond with nature.

Partners

Our work grows through alliances with foundations, schools and institutions that share our values.

One logic

Advice resolves the situation, capital gives it a future, and part of the value created comes back here, to education and heritage.
