#THF40for40
LET’S RAISE £40,000 by NY’sEve, 2021!
Please give what you can: £5.04, £14, £24, £40. If possible please include a 4 or 40 in the mix of your donation amount .....
In celebration of Helen’s 40th
birthdate - and to acknowledge the loss of such friendship and family lynchpin - the #THF40for40 amount raised would establish a special Arts Recovery Fund for the upcoming academic year, from
April 2021.
Devon’s Teignbridge schools can then access the fund, to give Arts work - grievously affected by the pandemic - a real boost.
Schools could:
* bring in professional artists for
arts-week workshops
* buy in much-needed arts resources
* devise a creative whole-school arts project
* mount a major school production
Schools individually would decide what will have greatest Arts impact for their school.
THE HELEN FOUNDATION: The charity subsidises schools to engage artists to work with children in whatever art form the school decides, benefiting over 1000 young people a year. 12 individual
bursaries per year also support young people of artistic talent, but lacking the financial means to fulfil their artistic ambitions.
The Helen Foundation Award is given annually by many schools to one student who’s shown best endeavour in the Arts. All those working for the charity are volunteers.
This is part of the 2006 team that launched THF - an amazing start!
