It's nearly been a year to the day when my dad passed away and at the end of his life he was cared for by the most gorgeous humans. 

They were there for dad but also for my family when we were going through a really difficult time. It was a privilege to be able to be there for my dad during his last week on the planet but I couldn't have done it without the continual cups of tea, biscuits, explanations of what was happening and support from the care team.

You may not need them now but when you do a charity like Lewis Manning is worth more than gold.
