Since 2011, the charity has seen a huge increase in the number of referrals for children’s bereavement support. They are the only charity in the North West with a dedicated child bereavement centre with sessions tailored to the needs of the children they support. The funds raised at this event make a huge difference to help the charity continue their support.
This year, we are taking this event to the next level, making it BIGGER and more SPECTACULAR than ever before. We cannot wait for guests to see what we have in store! We thank our sponsors Videcon and Roydons and event partners and loyal supporters, for their continued contributions which help us immensely with the event.
