Many people are aware of the Christmas Dinner & Wishing Tree Appeals that we do every year on Christmas Eve, but not everyone is aware what we do throughout the year. The Greenaway Foundation helps financially challenged families with ad hoc help to improve the welfare of children with the aim of easing anxiety and helping school attendance.
Most of the help is given through schools to fund things like school uniforms, PE kits and shoes etc. Or buying food for families or helping with transport. The biggest funding so far was to pay for a child's residential week long trip after their father passed away.
This summer we launch 'Prom Pop Ups' to help families struggling with the cost of the now very popular school proms. The plan is where a senior school is having a prom in Crawley, East Grinstead or Horley, the foundation will create a space near it where students can come and get hair, nails and make up done. We are looking for qualified or talented people to donate some time to help with this. We are also looking for volunteers with a nice or unusual car or vehicle to volunteer as chauffeurs.
Over 10% of Greenaway Residential Estate Agents profits are donated to the charity and now we are a fully registered charity we will be organising fund raising events in the near future.
