In memory of

Matthew Clarke, artist and eco-warrior, was working on an exhibition before his passing. His family, friends and colleagues came together to finish Matthew’s project, which went on to raise an incredible £5,964 for environmental charities, of which £2,982 was generously donated to Friends of the Earth.

The exhibition not only honours his memory but continues to spread his work. We're touched and grateful to have received this donation in Matthew’s memory. Further details about Matthew’s art can be found on his website www.matthewclarkeart.co.uk

Get moving

James Clark and 3 colleagues from Arm computing took part in the 10k Two Castles Run between Warwick and Kenilworth Castles. The race is an English Athletics accredited event which takes place every June. James completed the run in 50 minutes and 10 seconds and the team raised £815.96 for Friends of the Earth.

He says, "I chose Friends of the Earth because I personally think that environmental issues are the most important ones that we face today."
