Ask you to take some time to read the below and help us
help our community.
There is a brief charity overview and an exclusive opportunity for Bagshot residents to take part in a free prize draw so please read on.
The Lisa May Foundation is a Bagshot based charitable foundation wanting to help people on our doorstep as well as the wider global community.
Our main aim is to raise awareness of our work and to raise funds to continue providing an extra resource to our local community.
Our original roots were fundraising to supply aid to natural disaster relief around the world, our first project came from a personal disaster.
Lisa May the daughter of Cllr John May our Immediate past Mayor Of Surrey Heath lost her life to the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.
Money raised went directly to the disaster area and helped put the fisherman of Thailand back to work by building them 39 new longboats.
We then went on to other projects around the globe as and when we found causes we could guarantee to get aid to directly.
Places we have helped so far include: Thailand, Brazil and Haiti.
In the UK two students received scholarships to go to university, who may otherwise have not had the opportunity to attend.
However since May 2010 when Cllr May completed his year in office as Mayor, he decided to put a more focused approach on the plight of smaller charities that are on our doorstep.
So we now continue to build a fund for natural disaster relief as and when it is required as well as helping the smaller, lesser known charities too.
We are currently supporting the following local causes:
Parity for Disability in Camberley and Farnborough
Kennel Lane School - Bracknell
The Prostate Project - Frimley Park Hospital & Royal Surrey
The Heart 2 Heart Appeal - Frimley Park Hospital.
