Your fundraising makes a real difference:
£100 could help pay for a family to attend an activity day, where they can connect with others who share similar experiences.
£300 could fund six sessions of support for a bereaved family in their home, helping them communicate and feel more confident talking about their grief.
£1000 would pay for a child to have 20 sessions of individual therapy, giving them a safe space to express their emotions around their experiences building resilience and protecting their mental health.
