Last weekend, we organised a Christmas celebration for bereaved siblings at the Royal British Legion in Knowle. We welcomed 76 children for an afternoon filled with enjoyment, activities, and new friendships. This event provided a valuable opportunity for children who have lost a baby brother or sister to connect with others who share a similar experience.
The afternoon was filled with crafts, games and a visit from Santa, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children to enjoy. Beyond the festive activities, the party provided a space for a shared understanding and support, allowing these grieving siblings to feel more connected in their journeys.
We extend our heartfelt thank you to our Sibling Support Focus Group members, Junaid, Latifah, Sabriyah and Sophie, who devoted their time and effort to secure raffle prizes for the event. Thanks to their hard work and the kindness of our families who attended, we successfully raised an impressive Ā£265. This funding will be instrumental in supporting our upcoming sibling support day at Hatton Country World, allowing us to continue providing these essential opportunities to bereaved siblings.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and helped make the day a success We hope you enjoyed the afternoon, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and New Yearš¤
