I’m so delighted that I can announce that Parental Bereavement Leave will be known as “Jacks Law” Such a bittersweet feeling and I feel proud to have achieved this in Jacks Memory. I miss Jack everyday I hope this will help future families #jackslaw #grief

Furness NCS students have been busy raising money for us, with a fabulous cheque for £450 from activities last summer - thank you to all involved
Long time supporter, Eric, invited Alice’s mum, Vicky, to an auction at Christie’s in London. Along with three other very worthy charities, we benefitted from a share of an enormous £80,000 raised from ‘Boy With Dolphin’, a very beautiful piece of art.
