The I AM Fund launched in 2019 through a gift in the will of Audrey Mosey, who died in 2018 aged 91. Audrey wanted a significant part of her estate to support good causes in the area she loved. Her passion for dance and the performing arts led to the creation of a fund in her honour – the Audrey Mosey Fund (I AM Fund). The grant panel includes representatives from HEY Smile Foundation, Gosschalks Solicitors and Audrey’s estate.
