Started by the two Sheriffs of the City of London, the Fund remains wonderfully supported by them. Every year the new Sheriffs and their consorts and the Recorder initiate and run fund-raising events.
Tandem rides, horse rides, breakfasts, receptions, 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.
