On Christmas Day, after a brave and courageous battle with cancer, one fought with characteristic dignity and strength, we said our last goodbyes to artist and friend Tom French.

Tom was taken from this world quickly and prematurely and, as a result, some practical preparations were simply impossible to make. Today we are raising funds for Tom's immediate family, who are dealing with insurmountable loss and in need of support.

With your donation, you will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win a limited edition print of one of Tom's favourite paintings: 'Vessel'. The winner will be announced at the end of the exhibition. Please note that if you donate anonymously you will not be entered into the draw.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and understanding.
