Launch of the Help2grieve charity

February 3rd, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Help2grieve

I was privaledged to be invited to the launch of the Isle of Wight’s newest charity  Help2grieve, on Monday night.Winchester House, in Shanklin, is hosting Help2grieve. At last there is a long overdue facility  for children who have been bereaved.  The presentations  were exceptional and the evening was very well attended. Considering the weather was bad, this would indicate how important this new service is to people living on the Island. I am looking forward to being involved with the fundraising which is vital to this project.
