What is it?
Foster’s Fund is a charitable fund established by Kevin, designed to support charities and community projects within the Torbay constituency. The work they do is absolutely vital and often goes unrecognised, so this is Kevin’s small way of supporting these projects and saying thank you for the work that they do.
How much will be awarded?
Once every 3 months, awards of £1000, £300 and £200 will be made to three charities and projects within the Torbay constituency that directly impact on members of the public.
Why?
During the General Election campaign, Kevin pledged not to accept an MP’s pay rise if one was imposed, which it duly was. Kevin is determined to be true to his word. He knew what the salary was when he was a candidate for the job and doesn’t feel in the current economic climate that an MP’s pay rise of this size is either suitable or necessary. Therefore, Kevin has vowed to use the pay rise to support projects and charitable organisations that will directly benefit the people of Torbay.
