About Ned's Fund
Ned took his own life on the railway line at Witley Station on 17th July 2017; he was 20. Ned was bright, courageous, funny, a natural sportsman, a brilliant skier and snowboarder, a wonderful brother and a much loved and cherished son. He was remarkable.
Ned and education just did not work; he was under-stimulated and, as a result, disruptive. He spent most of the day excluded from the classroom. Ned left school and home at an early age, without direction. He estranged himself from his family.
Ned's Fund has been set up in his memory to make grants to a range of charities that provide vocational opportunities for young people who, like Ned, are struggling to find their own particular path through life.'
Ned’s Fund is a restricted fund under the auspices of Prism the Gift Fund, registered charity number 1099682.
