On April the 6th this year Sarah Groves was tragically murdered in Kashmir. The devastation that this news left behind is incomprehensible and indescribable. But due to Sarah's insatiable love of life, together with her desire to make a change in the world, and her determination to help as many people as she could - the Sarah Groves Foundation was set up. This Foundation will focus on Sarah's inspirations, which came from art, children, adventure and fitness.It has full Trust status and is administered by the Guernsey Community Foundation www.foundation.gg

This Foundation will continue Sarah's legacy, which is all about love, helping others, and achieving your dreams.

Sarah climbed Kilimanjaro in 2012, and fundraised over £3000 for her chosen charity. Many of the people in this team are Sarah's family and friends, who have joined together to fundraise, and also to retrace Sarah's footsteps up Kilimanjaro in what will be an incredibly emotional journey. Any donations will be warmly welcomed, and we thank you for all your kindness and support. 

You'll see our team fundraising target is at nearly £100,000. Your donation can really help us reach this goal! Please show your support to this fantastic cause, and to the people who will be working so hard to meet their targets! 

To find out more about the Sarah Groves Foundation, please read below.

Sarah's inspirations in life came from children, art, fitness and adventure and a Foundation has been established in Guernsey to support these four things.  It has full Trust status and is administered by the Guernsey Community Foundation www.foundation.gg

 

Funds allocated to Children will provide facilities, experiences and opportunities to young persons under the age of 16 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or from an organisational perspective.  In many cases participants will come from deprived backgrounds both locally and overseas (plans also include bringing educational eqauipments to the school in Tanzania that Sarah had fundraised for). Funds allocated to Art will provide educational experiences, opportunities and equipment to young persons under the age of 21 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or organisationally. 20% of funds available within this category go towards a special art bursary at Sarah’s school in Ascot where she spent 7 very happy years and where they still have very fond memories of her. Income will be generated by Adventure and Fitness (for example, people running marathons or going on expeditions).

 

This Foundation represents Sarah and her inspirational philosophy of life.
