This year I will be raising money for Touchstones to help them support bereaved children at some of their hardest times.

I will be doing numerous events so look out for each challenge.

Please help Touchstones to be there for the children and young people in our communities who are ( and will be) in real need of our help.

They operate within a very frugal cost structure, with their funding primarily coming through the support of families and individuals, local schools, and local community organisations together with some generous and highly significant support from a small number of grant providing trusts.

Below are some ways in which you can work with Touchstones to help them in this great and important support;

• £5 could pay for a memory box for each young person

• £15 would pay for the craft materials used in the 1-1 sessions for one child or young person

• £30 would pay for a 1-1 session for a child or young person with a counsellor

• £60 could buy all the candles for the candle-time memory ceremony at the Touchstones Day

• £350 pays for a child and young person through all their 1-1 support sessions

• £500 pays for an entire Touchstones Group Memory and Feelings Day at Blackwell.
