Story

Young people face difficulties and experience trauma during the loss of a parent or loved ones. Their emotions and mental health is usually affected, coping with daily life becomes a huge burden and often drives most to consider suicide or other means of coping. In addition many are driven into poverty and economic hardship. Light CAMBRIDGE therefore has a mandate to work with charities such as Stars to bring love and hope to young people in Cambridgeshire who face grief due to the loss of parents or loved ones. This December 2020 Light Cambridge has therefore partnered with STARS children's bereavement support services Cambridgeshire to raise funds for the purpose of supporting young people experiencing life changing events directly or indirectly related to the ongoing Pandemic. Sadly there has been a significant rise in the number of young people facing bereavement and grief in our local community exacerbated by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Stars children's bereavement support services has therefore seen a significant rise in the number of referrals, consequently their resources are overstretched. No young person should have to experience bereavement or mental health depression resulting from the loss of a parent or loved one. Young people are the future of the world and deserve all the support and love from everyone. All proceeds raised will be donated to Stars Children‘s bereavement support services. This will enable this amazing charity to continue supoorting local youths especially during these unprecendented times.
