The DSM Foundation has partnered with Lumina Publications, with £1 from every sale of Flora Dunn’s ‘Summer at Tillingford Hall’ going to the charity to support its drugs education work.
This is the first time the DSM Foundation has embarked on such a partnership, having been approached by the author Primavera Moretti (who writes as Flora Dunn), who comments: “I invited the DSM Foundation to become the charity partner for this book because as a other of teens, I was moved by Fiona’s story and wanted to support her in what she’s doing.”
Primavera continues: “As a professional fundraiser, I’ve noticed that it’s been getting harder and harder to raise funds, particularly for small charities. I wanted to find a way to turn the tables and be the philanthropist myself by creating an additional income source I could afford to give away.”
The DSM Foundation’s founder and director Fiona Spargo-Mabbs adds: “This is a really creative approach to fundraising in challenging times, and we’re very grateful to Flora for choosing our charity to benefit from the first of her books. The drug-related storyline running beneath the overlying romance is handled sensitively, and it feels an appropriate match for a charity focused on preventing drug-related harm to young people.”
