Jane Dennison - Josie's Dragonfly Trust

Jane came to us today to tell us more about this unusual charity - set up in the closing months of her life by teenager Josie Grove because, as she said, "Life is about helping people ... and you don't have to live to a hundred to do that." The primary aim of the charity is to "make dreams real" by giving sums of money to young people (aged 13-23) suffering from terminal illness to spend as they wish - to create precious memories with family and friends when time is very limited.
Jane had intended to show us a video - but the technology beat us at the meeting. However you can now watch this video here - it is well worth spending 10 minutes ...
