Frollo, designed by Crew member Abi Lawlor, has been appointed as Grow’s new mascot.
Abi shared her inspiration for creating Frollo: “I thought of designing a frog because Grow’s fundraising arm is called FrOGs. I’ve loved giving Frollo a personality and have drawn him in lots of different scenarios.”
Abi’s artistic talents are further showcased in a new Frollo colouring book, where children can follow Frollo’s adventures throughout the year.
From sowing seeds in the spring to building a snowman after Christmas, the book is a charming celebration of the seasons and Grow’s ethos of nurturing and growth.
This creative initiative has been made possible thanks to funds raised through a raffle organised by the Guernsey International Insurance Association (GIIA) at their annual dinner. These funds sponsored both the Frollo mascot costume and the colouring book.
Adele Gale, Chair of GIIA, expressed her enthusiasm for the project: “We absolutely loved the idea of supporting Frollo. Grow’s new facilities have enabled the charity to provide training in many more sectors. Enabling Abi to develop her artistic skills has given her confidence and self-esteem, and she is rightly very proud of Frollo.”
