FUNDRAISING APPEAL 2012
— Sophie Marsden
Is it a bird… is it a plane… no it’s Frances!!
Frances Fox has decided to throw herself (and her sanity some may say) out a plane in order to raise vital funds for Art Refuge UK.
The charity really is on its knees. We are desperately trying to raise funds as quickly as possible but the impact of the recession on charitable giving from both Trust’s and donors has made it increasingly difficult. The reality is that without the required funds we will have to close the charity as early as July this year. This would be a huge blow for the many TIbetan children that pass through the centres and benefit directly from the Art Refuge programme aswell as all of those associated with charity itself.
So as Chair of ARUK, Frances is taking matters into her own hands and leading by example! She will be doing a skydive with UK Parachuting on the 26th May at Beccles airfield in Suffolk. Here is a short video in which Frances explains her reasoning behind taking such drastic measures!
