The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation is one of Leicestershire’s hidden gems. This unique registered charity has, through the inspiration, foresight and selfless generosity of its founder, the late David Clarke, provided support care and friendship to over 100,000 socially isolated elderly people, adults with disabilities and disadvantaged youngsters since 1990.
The core services of the Foundation continue to bring much needed relief to many people in need and through the generous support of companies and individuals we have developed new schemes such as the Yew Trail outdoor classroom and craft clubs that provide great benefit to an even broader cross section of our community.
Over the next twelve months the Foundation is celebrating its 20th Anniversary and we will be;
Highlighting the past 20 years of achievement.
Looking forward to a further 20 years plus of charitable work.
Raising much needed funds through the Foundation’s ’20 Plus Appeal’

All this will culminate on the 9th/ 10th & 11thSeptember 2010 when in conjunction with Bradgate Flower Club we will be holding ‘September Crafts and Flowers’ at UlverscroftManor along with two fashion shows by Dressini of Market Bosworth.
This showcase community event aims to bring together in excess of 2,000 people in the beautiful surroundings of the Manor, raising both the profile of our organisation and corporate sponsors as well as generating much needed funds for the Foundation.
