The fund has been started with a £10,000 donation from the estate of the late Janet Christopher, a former member of City College staff and member of Mount Street Friends' meeting (Quakers) in Manchester, who are distributing part of her legacy. This donation is made in recognition of Janet's love of the outdoors and her enthusiasm for work with young people.

The intention is to build a six figure capital sum which will be invested into the future with bursaries being provided from the interest. The sum has now been increased to £25,000 with further donations.

The fund is to be called the Janet Christopher Bursary Fund. For further details or to make a donation please contact the Secretary of FoGH on 0161 285 6460 or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
