Story
Ross Darby sadly passed away on 15th September 2017 and we, the family, are in the process of arranging his funeral.
Ross worked for Acorn Homes which care for children and young adults with challenging behaviours and a range of associated needs and risks including exploitation, mental health issues, gang affected, absconders and other behaviours and issues, and he really enjoyed the work he did there.
Since passing away we have received some great messages of support and sadness from the staff and young people he worked with, and the family have decided they would like to treat the young people in some way in Ross's memory, be It a meal or some form of equipment perhaps.
We ask that no flowers are sent to the funeral but, instead, you may wish to consider donating to this cause.
