We have already started looking into events that we are going to host and have started the emails and phone calls to companies to help us.
Once we have a list of events for the year we will share them with you.
Our campaign for the improvements to bereavement support for bereaved families has already got us sending messages to the local CCG to get them into a meeting with us to discuss where Leeds is going regarding the improvements that are so desperately needed.
We will not let up on our mission to get every family the help and support they need and deserve following the loss of a baby or child. Our Change.org campaign is still going and we are determined to get the signatures up to the 10,000 mark thus getting it on the agenda within parliament. If you have not yet signed it please do and share it with everyone you know.
There are still Just Giving campaigns running and we also have 3 projects that require your votes/signatures.
On Just Giving we have the 'Memorial Garden' campaign, raising funds for us to provide families with a beautiful memorial garden for them to have in honour of their baby or child.

There are two very special girls that we have put forward to the Yorkshire Choice Awards 2017 for the Young Achiever award.
They are Rhiann & Amy Curtis who are Charlies cousins.
When we lost Charlie they were 6 & 4 but they wanted to be involved with every event we have organised to raise money for the charity.
They have baked cakes and stood outside local shops selling them, they spoke with their school headteacher who agreed to hold a non uniform day to raise money, they come along to bucket shaking days and often spend many hours stood holding buckets always with a smile on their faces.
We think they are such caring, compassionate and hard working little girls who really should be recognised for their dedication and commitment to their cousins memory.
If you would like to help us get the recognition they deserve please go along and give them a vote.
There is also the Galaxy Hot Chocolate fund that gives small grants to charities and ventures that help and support the local communities. If we were lucky enough to be given this fund it would help us to keep supporting families at our Community Support Meetings and providing our bereavement packs to families.
These are just some of the ways you can help and support us and we are always looking for other ways for people to raise funds for us.
If you would like to raise funds for us by running a race, climbing a mountain, sitting in a bath of beans or embarking on a sponsored event please get in touch with us and we can help you set up a Just Giving page for Charlies-Angel-Centre.
