In memory of Saffie Rose Roussos
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We have chosen to raise funds for the charity Once Upon A Smile who have supported the previous owners of The Plaice Fish and Chips Shop in Leyland, Lancashire and in memory of their daughter Saffie Rose Roussos.
Once Upon a Smile provide emotional and practical support to bereaved
families at their time of need to enable them to move forward.
The charity is the only bereavement charity in the UK to offer a variety of
support to families through such a difficult time, not only are they unique
in this way but they also tailor the support they provide to families to fit
their individual needs.
Families are often left to grieve alone with no, or little support available
and this can often have a devastating impact on family life and children.
Children who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling are more
than 60% likely than their non-bereaved peers to be excluded from
school. Bereaved young people report feelings of isolation, being bullied
and feeling different from their peers.
They provide opportunities for bereaved children and their families to
share their thoughts and feelings in a fun and safe environment.
They help to:
· Provide a safe environment to express feelings and emotions
· Increase self-esteem by enabling families to meet other bereaved families
