Busy but Happy & Proud

We have had a pretty non stop beginning to 2017 and it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.
Whilst this can be mentally and physically draining it is also very productive.

This week has kept us on our toes again but at the end of the week we look back and see we have achieved so much in just 7 days.

Our first fundraising event took place this week, an evening of 'Medium Entertainment'. 
This was our second medium event and it helped us raise a great amount. 
Last years event was a good evening but you still get a little nervous as the day arrives. 
We needn't have worried, plenty of people turned up and helped make the night a success. 
2016's event had Adrian Clarke who came again this year with his colleague Chantelle Lockhart. 
Adrian donates his services to us as he has had personal experience of child/baby loss and knows how important the correct support can be.
As usual our raffle was a big hit and helped us boost the total we raised for the evening to £438.

Every event we organise always amazes us at the amount we raise. Despite the fact that many people have less money nowadays they are always so generous and supportive towards us. We truly have some amazing supporters.

This week has also seen us launch our National Counselling Service.
We have wanted to do this since we started the charity so it has made us feel very proud that we were able to launch it today.

It has taken a lot of hard work, perseverance, determination and a lot of email writing to achieve but it will make a huge difference to the families we support. 

The service will continue to grow as we get more and more counsellors coming on board to work with us and our aim is to have a counsellor in every city across the country.

With the counsellors we have volunteering for us at the moment we can now provide families with counselling face to face, telephone, email and online.
