THE BECCA OWEN MEMORIAL FUND
WHO BENEFITS

Donation
2008
A
large inner city primary school in London got in touch with us and asked
for money to help funding for an adventure holiday for year 6
students. Although this trip is available to all students, many cannot
afford it so we have paid for 10 pupils to go.
Donation
2008
We
heard of a severely autistic 10 year old boy who has a passion for
swimming but becomes very distressed when there are other people in
the pool. So we have paid for the use of the entire pool for him
to go swimming by himself every week for 6 months. We hope that he has
a fantastic time
Donation 2008 In April we took all of the children involved with Building Bridges to Drayton Manor Park and also paid for the transport. It was so good to see their smiling faces and we intend to make it an annual event as it was so successful.
Donation
2007
In November we financed a weekend in a cottage in the countryside for a group of bereaved teenagers for Hope House' Building Bridges scheme. They had a wonderful time. Donation 2007 Donation 2006 On September 22nd, we
made our first donation to under privileged children.
We handed over a cheque to a local Women's
Refuge so that the children there can have a little holiday. We intend
to give another donation to them before Christmas as there will almost
certainly be new children there by then.
It was very moving to realise that we had
actually made a small difference to these poor children whose lives have
been traumatic through no fault of their own.
This is just the start. We hope to bring
much more happiness to many more children in Becca's memory.
