Local charity The Travers Foundation is delighted to announce its new Patron, Julie Riley.
Julie got to know The Travers Foundation when she was the Mayor of Corby 2016 -2017. Her theme for the year was “Children are our future” and The Travers foundation was one of her 2 chosen charities.
During her Mayoral year The Travers Foundation struck a chord with Julie with its support for local young people in the areas of the arts & sport.
With close connections to the arts world, through her husband -a children entertainer Mr Custard and as a former Children’s entertainer herself Julie was encouraged to see the marvellous support afforded young people through the Travers Foundation.
“There is a need for funding support for our young people. Lottery funding only benefits the few. Local young people who want to excel in the arts or in sport deserve funding based on their ability and not the resources of the bank of Mum and Dad. “
“Having met so many of the young people that The Travers Foundation have helped and seen the unfailing passion of the team, this has inspired me to be their Patron for 2018"
