Pat's Purse is being established in loving memory of Pat Smallwoods, whose life was marked by kindness, generosity and a deep concern for others.

Rather than flowers, Pat's family invite you to help continue that legacy by supporting this fund. Every donation will be used to bring practical help, joy and hope to children, young people and families who are experiencing adversity or financial hardship.

The aim of Pat's Purse is to provide opportunities that many families simply cannot afford - whether that's a day trip, an outing, a special experience, help towards an activity, or other practical support that can make a lasting difference. Sometimes the greatest gift is the chance to make happy memories, enjoy a break from difficult circumstances, or simply know that someone cares.

Our desire is that, through this fund, Pat's compassion and generosity will continue to bless others for years to come.

Thank you for helping us honour Pat's memory by bringing hope, encouragement and practical support to those who need it most.
