A family fund making a difference through trusted, long-term relationships
Steve and Emma Patch approached us in 2018 to talk about setting up a fund in memory of Lynn Patch, Steve’s wife and Emma’s mum.
We were delighted to support them in establishing The Grove Fund, dedicated to her wish to help women and children who find themselves vulnerable due to domestic violence or abuse.
Helping fund vital new services
Steve and Emma made their first grant from the fund in 2018 to domestic abuse charity Next Link, beginning a run of six grants over six years which have kickstarted three important strands of Next Link’s work.
Next Link provides domestic abuse support services across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. These include safe houses, group support work, community and outreach services and a range of co-located services in Health, Housing and Children and Family Services.
Next Link’s CEO, Sarah O’Leary, says the additional funding and support from The Grove Fund makes all the difference to their work.
Follow your passions and make a difference locally
Developing this trusted, long-term relationship has made a real difference to the lives of many local women and children. This joined up approach, pairing charities with people who care passionately, is at the heart of what we do at Quartet.
