About Jill Revie
"I completed a full-time degree in Fine Art at Cheltenham Art School (now part of the University of Gloucester). I am fluent in Spanish, French and Italian and travel regularly with a sketchbook, finding inspiration in France, Italy, Spain, Malta and Morocco. In the summer months I tend my small Chiswick garden.
Travel now seems a remote dream, but my sketchbooks are still a reminder of different journeys, and a useful source of inspiration for paintings. In February this year I revisited Marrakech, and have made several paintings with a Moroccan theme.
I was also inspired by the serenity and glowing colours of an exhibition of Indian watercolours at the Wallace Collection in London.
Matisse has always been my great love, but I have always felt a strong connection with the Scottish Colourists: it must be my student days in Edinburgh!"

Mirpuri Bespoke
Founded in 1976, Raj Mirpuri has been dedicated to the art of bespoke tailoring. The aim has always been to provide high levels of craftsmanship and personal service.
Bespoke tailoring is, and has always been, about more than just unparalleled craftsmanship; it is also about the relationship with one’s tailor. It is a very personal relationship that is based on trust and built up over time. It is the role of your tailor to act as a guide to fabrics and cuts that both complement you and showcase your own personal style.
Raj Mirpuri believes that bespoke tailoring is a lifestyle choice; it is not limited purely to suits and shirts but encompasses your entire wardrobe. Our collection of fabrics has expanded to include more casual wear such as jeans, shorts, polo shirts and even swimwear.

Bedelsford School is an outstanding special school which aims to provide innovative education and a challenging environment for pupils aged 2 to 19. The school specialises in educating pupils with a wide range of Physical Disabilities including those with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties, Moderate Learning Difficulties and Complex Health needs. Many of the pupils now have CLDD (complex learning difficulties and disabilities).
Please donate now to help TVF raise the final £16,600 that Bedelsford Special School so urgently needs in order to purchase a new Innowalk so that c50 older/taller pupils can get back on an Innowalk which helps them in so many ways.
An Innowalk is designed to enable movement for those with moderate to significant physical disabilities who may suffer from a neurological condition or neuromuscular disease, and have limited ability for independent movement. They spend most of their waking hours being sedentary, and are therefore less physically active compared to those without disabilities. No independent ability to stand or walk is required to use the equipment.
The Innowalk has thick padding on the leg supports and seat to provide increased comfort and support for the user.
A large, stable tray supports arms when standing and provides a good balance between support and opportunity for activity.
Tilt in space angle provides stabiliy and comfort for those with poor trunk and head control.

About Salome Gallan
Biography
My name is Salome Gallan, and I am an abstract artist who creates art using acrylic paint, ink, and mixed media. I am Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, and I've lived in London for almost 20 years. From a young age, I've always had a passion for painting, drawing, and crafting with anything I could find. I attended an art college until I was 18 and enjoyed mainly painting and drawing. Abstract painting is an excellent way to express what's happening in my mind and serves as a release.
Nature, music, meditation, and listening to people inspire me to create art. I can even paint someone's feelings by carefully listening to them, and it's heartwarming when a person connects with a piece. I love using bold and expressive colours with many layers and textures.
Art is all around us and plays a crucial role in our lives. It brings people together, creates memories, and speaks a thousand languages. Art creates energy and feeling and helps people communicate. With my studies in Psychology, I aim to connect with people on an even deeper level and combine psychology and art to help people live their life to their full potential.
