Community Projects
The Cherry Groce Foundation was established as a tribute to Cherry Groce, who radiated positive energy and chose to live life to the fullest despite her circumstances.
It's that spirit we work to honour by supporting members of the BME community with a physical or mental impairment/disability - often facing challenging circumstances - live full lives.
The foundation has delivered various projects.
The Foundation is aware of the rise in discrimination and hate crime acts, and the effects this may have on those who are more vulnerable. In an effort to assist existing and future participants of our projects, the charity remains committed to address and deal with all form of discrimination.
