Nationwide appeal in memory of Kelly
Postal July 17 2019CWU members across the UK will have the chance to donate to the Kelly Mary Fauvrelle Appeal Fund in a nationwide fundraiser next week.
Tuesday 23rd July is being earmarked for the day when units all around the country will be able to hold workplace collections to raise support for the family of Ms Fauvrelle, a postwoman from Croydon Delivery Office who was brutally murdered last month.
Adding further tragedy, at the time of her death Kelly had been eight months pregnant and her baby, a boy who the family named Riley, tragically died the following week.
As well as helping the bereaved family through this traumatic time, the CWU Appeal is also aimed at assisting organisations campaigning against knife crime and a lasting memorial to Kelly and her son.
Announcing the nationwide initiative yesterday, our general secretary Dave Ward said that it had been launched in response to requests from a number of members and branches and asked all branches to participate if possible.
“We would like to place on record our thanks to CWU members and the public for their outpouring of support following these tragic events,” said Dave, adding: “We know your thoughts and support are really appreciated by the family and our members in the Croydon office.”
