Local charity the TJ’s Way Trust was the chosen recipient of funds from the 100+ People Who Care Group during its November funding round, receiving $5800 in donations. TJ’s Way Trust chairwoman Marion Maxwell was delighted to receive the funds, which would enable the trust to expand its support to cover sports and other activity fees for an additional six to eight local children in 2026. TJ’s Way Trust was set up by Mrs Maxwell and her family after her daughter Teresa Jayne died as a result of a road accident in Australia on November 25, 2006. Mrs Maxwell said that when families ran out of money to cover fees for activities, the trust would step in to ensure the children did not miss out.
