Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  When the UK went into the first lockdown in March 2020 I needed a haircut...and I haven't had one since!  For my 50th birthday on 28th May 2021 I'm having my head shaved to raise funds for three charities of which the Ventnor Enhancement Fund is one.  It's a local charity where I live, and I'm the secretary!  We haven't been able to conduct our usual fundraising activities since March 2020, so some additional funds would be most welcome and gratefully received.  Thanks for any donation you're able to give!

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

We brighten up your town! Ventnor Enhancement Fund was created as a charity in 2006 to add those small embellishments to the town that official bodies do not provide. Generous donations and support from residents and businesses, together with grants from the Big Lottery have enabled this work to proceed, with at least one major project per year. In this period of austerity, the activities of the VEF have become even more important. The work is carried out by a small group of volunteers, who have gained immense satisfaction from the experience of beautifying the town and adding extra facilities. We hold monthly meetings in which we plan our short- and long-term project work and fundraising activities. Work parties are arranged to tackle new and routine projects which often involves painting and decorating or gardening. Generally these teams consist of only a few people, but a morning’s hard work is enough to make a big difference. Our fundraising activities can be quite labour-intensive but are usually great fun and lucrative. We maintain regular contact with the Town Council, offering mutual support.
