I cant wait for the day when we can open the doors to our own bereavement centre, CHARLIES ANGEL CENTRE .  To see the sign with Charlies name brightly displayed on it will bring such a huge smile to mine and many others faces. We know that it will happen because we are all so determined to make it happen. The only thing we don't know yet is when.

We know that the centre is so badly needed, and not only needed in Leeds. Since we have set up our charity we have found out so much about the lack of support that is out there for people who have lost a child.

Before Charlie, we were like every other person who has never experienced the loss of a child, we would never have thought about bereavement services, or lack of them.

Now we have had to go through the loss of Charlie we have become almost experts on the subject. We all take every opportunity we have to tell others about the lack of services out there and what needs to change. We are all prepared to get out there and stand up and shout about how unfair it is that money is going to other areas and none gets passed down to bereavement support. Only recently we found out that there is so much money being invested in improving IT systems within GP surgeries. How can this be right!!!

Charlie has changed us all in so many ways, he has made us stronger and more outspoken about things we feel are unjust. He has given us the confidence and determination to be able to challenge people in senior positions, even MP's,and ask them to explain why money is not available to help bereaved families. We have become more understanding of what other people are going through and now want to help as much as we can.

I think Charlie has left an amazing legacy and we will do everything we can to ensure as many people as possible know about Charlie and what he has achieved.
