2012 – Our 75th Anniversary
St Loye’s Foundation will celebrate 75 years of helping people with mental health conditions and physical disabilities in 2012. To commemorate the occasion, several events are planned as well as a wide-reaching fundraising campaign.
Our Plans For 2012
Paralympic Ambassadors
St Loye’s has an agreement in place with three Team Bath Paralympic swimmers, who will provide ambassadorial support in the build up to London 2012.
Liz Johnson (left) first represented Great Britain in 2000 and has gone on to great success, winning a gold medal in the Beijing 2008 Paralympics and numerous other medals. She also recently starred in Channel 4’s ‘Inside Incredible Athletes’.
Kate Grey (centre) just missed out on the medals in Beijing on her Paralympic debut, finishing just a quarter of a second away from a bronze.
David Hill (right) was the youngest British athlete at the Athens 2004 Paralympics, making the final of the 100m Backstroke at the age of just 15.
In addition, we are thrilled to be Princesshay’s nominated Charity of the Year for 2012! Many of the events featured will incorporate the full support of Exeter’s Princesshay.
Our 75th aims are…
To encourage people to get involved and help us raise funds for our two specific chosen programmes for 2012, ‘Transitions’ (support for service veterans) and ‘Moving into work’ (supporting people with Learning Disabilities and/orAutism into work).
These programmes depend on charitable funding and receive no government funding and your money does make a massive difference. Click here to find out how your money will help!
Our 75th plans include…
