SCHOOLS - ATTENTION PLEASE!

Hard as it may be to realise, this year is The Helen Foundation's 20th! We would love to mark this coming 20th birthday year of 2026 with a special fundraising event that will help secure THF's future for the next 20 years. THF has helped many, many schools over these past 20 years to enrich their arts curriculum, and we are asking if you would be willing to give something back in terms of financial support to keep us going. The fundraiser will be called THF 20 for 20, and will be formally launched in January. As you plan your year's charity support and fundraising, would you bear us in mind? Could Teignbridge schools collectively raise £20,000?

THE HELEN FOUNDATION ANNUAL OFFER

The Helen Foundation’s annual offer has been announced! State-funded schools in Teignbridge are invited to request, via Daisi, funding to subsidise arts workshops led by professional artists to give their young people an exceptional arts experience, whether that be in music, dance, painting, ceramics, drama, felt-making, mosaic – the school decides, and the choice is very large. Primary schools may request £40,0 and secondary and special schools £800. We work very closely with Daisi, the Devon arts charity, who organise the contracts with schools and has a register of approved and certified professional artists, highly skilled in working with young people, whom they can call on. This is only made possible by the ongoing support of our THF friends. Thank you to all of you.
