Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  This is going to be my last Charity Night that I organise in memory of Laura so I hope that it is the biggest success!! 

I am organising a Fundraising Charity Night with a buffet, raffle, disco and Risky Notes Function Band www.riskynotes.uk have also kindly agreed to perform on the evening, with no fee which is fantastic :)  I am holding my Charity Night on Friday 9th February 2018. I am holding my event at my local Tyrrells Hall Workingmens Club, Grays which is a great venue and the hall has very kindly been donated free of charge :) All monies raised from the donations and the raffle will be going to Sands and will be raised in loving memory of my daughter, Laura who was sadly stillborn.  Laura was stillborn on 13th February 1988 and so would be celebrating her 30th birthday in 2018, this being why the date is so incredibly special to me and organising this event is a beautiful way to remember Laura and raise money for an amazing charity.

I really hope that you are able to come along and support my charity night, please contact me for any further details, it is FREE entry, donation appreciated.

You can also use JustTextGiving and you can donate by text message straight to my fundraising page by texting LBYR88 and an amount of £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.

Sands supports anyone affected by the death of a baby, works in partnership with health professionals to try to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care and funds research that could help to reduce the numbers of babies dying and families devastated by this tragedy.

Sadly 15 babies die each day in the UK before, during or soon after birth.

Every year Sands supports thousands of families who have experienced the death of a baby, works to improve bereavement care, and funds and promotes vital research to save babies' lives.

We depend on the extraordinary energies of our supporters to raise the vital funds that we need to deliver the wide range of services that we offer.
