    Story

    Charlie's favourite college

    In Charlie's memory, we are fundraising to support Foxes Academy who were his favourite cause. He loved the students and the people who ran the Academy, and even when his professional role with them ended, he carried on supporting them personally.

    Charlie well understood the struggles of living with a disability, and lived each day bravely facing the world despite the risks it caused him. He said:

    If someone said to you, "tomorrow you will have a seizure out of nowhere. It could happen at any moment and be potentially life threatening..." How would you spend tomorrow?

    Charlie's goal in sharing this message was to spread empathy and respect, and highlight the unseen challenges faced by many and understood by few.

    As a family mourning his loss, we would like to honour Charlie's message and legacy of compassion by supporting Foxes who do so much to enrich the lives of those with needs and grant them independence. We feel it was this commitment to living independently himself that makes Charlie so brave and such an inspiration.

    Foxes Academy

    Foxes Academy is a specialist college and training hotel for young people with learning disabilities, situated in the seaside town of Minehead.

    Foxes is a very special place. They give their students the skills, knowledge and confidence to successfully shape their own futures. Emma Colbey, Headmistress says:

    Our mission is to equip young adults with learning disabilities with the skills, confidence and passion to find sustainable employment in the hospitality sector and live independently.

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
