Story
The Dawn Brown Foundation
Dawn Brown died of cancer on the 3rd of April 2017, a life taken too soon from an inspirational adult learning tutor, passionate about creative craft and community learning. Dawns wish was that there be a legacy of her passion: a fund that would help learners who needed financial support to buy the resources they needed for their chosen craft. She felt that this would help more people with low incomes, achieve confidence, success, support and friendship among people who shared the bond of creativity. So if someone who was out of work or perhaps had had long term illness (as she had some years before) wanted to develop their creative skills but couldn't afford a course or materials, then this fund would help.
The fund needs to raise money towards an endowmnent that will make grants forever: in Dawns name. A wonderful legacy of a wonderful woman. The fundraising won't last for ever and a time limit of August, this year is proposed to raise the funds
