A family fun day in Riverside Park will mark the official launch of the Sarah Merritt Foundation on Saturday July 26 from 12-4pm.
Sarah was brutally murdered as she went about her work as a home carer
in Southampton in March 2007. You can read more about the Foundation’s
aims on its website here.
The event will feature a dedication of the Foundation and official
opening by Sarah’s husband Peter and mum Margaret, assisted by the Town
Crier and Connect Youth Band. The fun day will be opened by the Right
Worshipful The Mayor and Mayoress of Southampton. John Denham MP will
be attendance.
Demonstrations throughout the day will include Sumo Wrestling, Karate,
African drummers with arts and crafts, Bitterne Park School Jazz Band,
and Jonathon the Jester with his marvellous Millennium Mini top.
There will also be marquees with stands from a range of local
organisations including Hampshire Constabulary Knife Campaign, Hampton
Trust, Flower of Justice, Woodmill Outdoor Centre, Neighbourhood
Involvement, Northam 521 Youth Project, Scouting Movement and C.I.S
(Children’s Information Service).
Organisers hope the day will give exhibitors a good platform to
demonstrate the wealth of opportunities available, and to enlist plenty
of new recruits.
