We are already really busy making plans for our 3rd Charity Ball on 29th September 2018.

Each year we become better and better at organising events, using everything we have learnt from previous ones. It has been a huge learning curve for everyone of us but now we are pretty good at approaching people and companies for services, gifts and donations.

To start it felt very unnatural asking for things for free, but now we are seeing how much we are able to support families because of it it has become much easier.
When you work with so many families, and see them at the lowest they have ever been in their lives and know that we are able to provide that help, friendship and support, knowing that we can do this because of the generosity of all of our supporters makes you feel very lucky.

This year the Ball is going to be our best one yet, we have lots of exciting things planned and we have already been able to secure the services of some great people.

At both of our previous Ball's we have given a few awards to people we wanted to thank for the contribution they make to both the charity but also to the families we work with.

This year, as the charity has grown and grown, we are opening up our awards to the public.

We want people to put forward nominees that they think deserve recognition for things they have done regardless of where in the country they are from. 

They could have raised funds for your favourite charity, have they gone above and beyond and supported you or your family, is there someone you admire and want to say thank you to.

We have several categories for nominations;

• Bereavement Support Worker
• Best Bereavement Service (Hospital or Community)
• Midwife of the Year
• Inspirational Individual of the Year
• Outstanding Volunteer
• Young Fundraiser of the Year
• Corporate Fundraiser of the Year

So if you know someone you would like to put forward or you know a family that might want to make a nomination please do it.

We want to be able to give a big THANK YOU to all the nominations for all the help and support they give. Often these people are the ones who do it because they care and do not do it for recognition.  However we feel that they deserve to be acknowledged and praised.

There is a nomination form on our website that anyone can complete.

We look forward to sharing all the nominees with you once the closing date has arrived.
