We are a small committee which began life in November 1995 in memory of Donna Sharpe, whose life was cut short in June of that year. Donna died in a road traffic accident, caused through the inexperience of a driver. Initially the committee was set up as one of the coping strategies for some of Donna's family and friends.

Money is raised at various events throughout the year and donated to various deserving causes. These were chosen to reflect Donna's interests and to support causes she had supported herself. In this way it was felt that Donna's charitable spirit could be kept alive as well as her memory.

It was decided that although these aims are still important, it would be beneficial to put some of our energies into raising awareness of the risks young inexperienced drivers pose to themselves and others. the bulk of the monies raised has gone to "Learn and Live" 
(the parent's campaign for safer driving).

The Donna Sharpe Memorial Fund has purchased several C.D. ROMs and leaflets to donate to schools and colleges, youth groups and youth projects in the area. the committee are also willing to give talks or provide information to anyone who might have an interest.
