The Furnley House Foundation was created to improve the lives of those within our community. Usually, we hold a number of fundraising events to help us bring the community together raising in excess of £40,000 each year.
Sadly, the COVID-19 situation has forced us to postpone our events and we’re gutted to have to do so. We didn’t want to sit back and wait for things to calm down so earlier in the year, we raised £3000 to help create and cover the costs of discharge packs for those leaving hospital when we were in Lockdown. We also didn’t want to let all those amazing people and organisations who have gone above and beyond go unrecognised.
The Trustees of the Furnley House Foundation have decided to host a Virtual Awards on Tuesday 24th November that will highlight those individuals and organisations that have gone above and beyond since March 2020.
If you are or know a local hero or organisation that has done something extraordinary, the Leicestershire Community Champions Awards 2020 are a great opportunity to recognise them and shout about the amazing things they have done.
