With annual grant expenditure to prison leavers exceeding income from donations, the Fund is increasingly dependent on fundraising events to make up this shortfall and to support the prison-based Rehabilitation Projects which are so vital to reducng re-offending. Many of these events are initiated by the Sheriffs or the Recorder of the City of London. The Fund’s events are renowned for their originality and they sell out rapidly.
Tandem rides, horse rides, breakfasts, receptions, Old Bailey tours, concerts, sheep drives, book launches, sponsored runs, theatrical shows, debates, fashion shows, children’s parties, wine tastings – events galore – are all dreamed up and organised by people who believe 100% in the value and efficacy of the Fund’s work.
