Our statement on the death of Her Majesty The Queen

On behalf of everyone at Somerset Community Foundation, we were saddened to learn of the death of Her Majesty The Queen. We offer our sympathy, thoughts and best wishes to members of the Royal Family.

The Queen has, through her lifetime, shown selfless devotion, duty and service to communities throughout the UK and far beyond, including patronage of over 600 charities.

She led by example throughout her long reign and the legacy she leaves will continue to be an inspiration to us and will be reflected in the work and commitment of our local voluntary organisations.

Jane Barrie OBE, Chair & Justin Sargent OBE, Chief Executive
