Thank you to St James's Place for their generous grant of £2500, awarded to us in December. 

We really appreciate your support and this amount will go directly on supporting 5 families with memory-making days, activities and counselling.

We send out care packs to all new families referred to us, to hopefully bring a smile at such a difficult time and allow them to enjoy a movie night at home together.

These lovely packs come via @notanotherbunch

At our Gala dinner, we played our new video to show a little more about what we do and some of the families we’ve supported.

Thanks so much to all the families, especially Rebecca Blinkhorn, for sharing their experiences ❤️
