Fundraising for Guernsey Community Foundation
Story
Sometimes in our lifetime, we meet people, who in some small way encourage, inspire, uplift, and brighten our day, just by being themselves. They may not even know that their words and actions have an impact on a persons life.
My sister-in-law, Sarah Groves, was such a person.
Sarah's inspirations in life came from children, art, fitness and adventure and a Foundation has been established in Guernsey to support these four things. The Sarah Groves Foundation has full Trust status.
Funds allocated to Children will provide facilities, experiences and opportunities to young persons under the age of 16 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or from an organisational perspective. In many cases participants will come from deprived backgrounds both locally and overseas. Funds allocated to Art will provide educational experiences, opportunities and equipment to young persons under the age of 21 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or organisationally. 20% of funds available within this category go towards an art bursary at Sarah’s school in Ascot where she spent 7 very happy years and where they still have very fond memories of her. Income will be generated by Adventure and Fitness (for example, people running marathons or going on expeditions).
Here is a link to a video that captures Sarah’s beauty and desire to make a change in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvJr3Pux-QQ
Any donations are warmly welcomed, and thank you so much for your kindness and support! I will be paying a part of the travel and accomodation costs, and some of the money I fundraise will go towards the rest, but over 50% of money raised is purely for the Fund, which means that as a group we hope to raise, after all expenses, over £50,000!!! Which will be incredible for the Fund!
