| | |  J.K.Rowling trust donates money to Women's Refuge Centre
The Volant Charitable Trust, founded by J.K.Rowling in 2002, has donated £25,000 to Stirling Women’s Aid in England, to help furnish a new local refuge. The charity also received a further £5,000 from an anonymous source. Quote:
Stirling Women’s Aid spokesperson Anne Shaw said: “To also get the news about the Volant Trust grant was fantastic.”
The trust was set up to help causes and projects, local, international & national, to help 'alleviate social deprivation', with a focus on children & women.
Volant was the maiden name of J.K.Rowling's mother who died from Multiple Sclerosis.

it is so great that she uses her fame and fortune to help others, and she never seems to forget how much she struggled earlier in life and wants to help others from struggling. GO JK!!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
