Dawn Brown was an inspirational adult learning tutor, passionate about creative craft and community learning. Dawn shared her passion for crafts and used it as a tool to help people build confidence, create a sense of achievement and find fun and friendship. Sadly, Dawn lost her battle with cancer on the 3rd of April 2017.
Dawn’s wish was that there should be a legacy of her passion: a fund that would help learners who needed financial support to buy the resources they needed for their chosen craft. She felt that this would help more people with low incomes, achieve confidence, success, support and friendship among people who shared the bond of creativity. So, if someone who was out of work or perhaps had had long term illness (as she had some years before) wanted to develop their creative skills but couldn’t afford a course or materials; this fund would help.
