WILLIAM CROSS FOUNDATION
Reg. No. 1170005
William's involvement in many musical activities and his popularity in his home town meant that his
death had a devastating impact on not just his family and friends, but on a whole community. He
was a House Prefect at Kingswood School, had formed his first band aged just 10, played in pubs,
clubs and at events, and was an active member of the young Conservatives. Following an
outpouring of public grief, and an immediate desire to do something in remembrance, Will's family
and friend5 Started to organise collections and other fundraising ideas. Whilst the enthusiasm was
tangible, there was a real and immediate need to exert some control and structure to the
fundraising in order to protect Will's family and to ensure that there was a sound structure as Will's
legacy developed.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The development of the Foundation's social media (Facebook and Twitterl enabled us to promote
the brand and raise awareness of the charity in a way which would have never been possible
