Our desire is to build up a foundation of regular donors to give the award some security, and would love for you to help us make this happen. We would like to make the Julia Darling Travel Fellowship an annual award of £2,000, and will be working hard to fundraise through events and activities. From the enthusiasm and outpouring of memories that accompanied the celebrations of Julia’s work in 2015, we know that there are many people who want to honour the memories that they have of Julia. We hope that supporting this fellowship will enable people to make a commitment to furthering the spirit of Julia’s life.
Donations to the fellowship will be managed by New Writing North via a designated fund and as a registered charity they are also able to process Gift Aid, ensuring that any funds that you donate can also be maximised in this way.
One-off donations
You can make a one-off donation by either sending a cheque payable to New Writing North to our address below, or by donating via the Just Giving page. On this page you can also set up personal fundraising campaigns that can be focussed towards this cause and you could also consider undertaking a sporting or creative challenge of some sort to raise funds to the support the Fellowship.
Direct Debit
If you are interested in supporting the award in the long term you can do so by donating on a regular basis by setting up a yearly direct debit – the amount you pledge is entirely up to you. This commitment from friends and family will create a foundation fund that can be developed further with focused fund-raising initiatives.
