Julie Maxwell passed away suddenly on a night out in Belfast in August 2019
A woman has launched a bursary to help young working class creatives in memory of her sister who died suddenly.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Stacey said they wanted to help the next generation of actors, writers, and creatives who may struggle financially to achieve their dreams. They are doing so through the Julie Maxwell Lewis Bursary, with thousands already raised towards this goal. "That shouldn't be an issue - if you have a talent, and you're able to do that, money really shouldn't be what stops you. So that's why we thought funding a bursary would be the way to go, we know it's something Julie would have absolutely loved to do as well."
Previously, Stacey raised £7,000 and bought defibrillators for several locations across Belfast in her sister's memory. Speaking to Belfast Live at the time, Stacey said: "I hope that these never have to be used but I am happy knowing the defibrillators are here now and can help save someone's life if they are needed. If there was one there that night then Julie might still be with us today.
