Sadly, some of our families, students and staff have had to deal with the grief of losing a loved one. Feelings of grief may affect a person differently over time, so it is important that we listen, care and comfort.

At Blessed Thomas Holford, we must support our families as much as we can through these difficult times. We recognise the need to invest in bereavement resources, space, training, and advice to help our present and future families through their grief. To equip our Blessed Thomas Holford family with the tools to support this cause, we have come together with our local community to raise money for this important investment, investment in our family. Members of the Blessed Thomas Holford community will be challenging themselves to run the half and full Manchester marathon to raise funds through sponsorship. All proceeds will go to the investment in the necessary resources to provide exceptional care for families, students and staff to support them with their grief, loss and bereavement.

"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4)
