Story

Martin & Juliet – AKA The Double Act

The only couple mad enough to take on the full ride together – and somehow still smiling! Juliet will be armed with her trusty first aid kit (because she’s not entirely convinced the doctors on the trip know what they’re doing), while Martin will be keeping the jokes flowing and morale high – ideally from the shade, Orangina in hand. They’re both looking forward to the challenge, the chaos, and wondering who might end up sleeping at the foot of their bed this year – since we can’t always guarantee them a room to themselves!

Balloons is a small charity that works alongside families and professionals to support bereaved children and young people in our area when someone significant in their lives dies.

Every time we pick up the telephone, we take a new referral, we meet a bereaved child for the first time, and we visit a grieving family – we know it matters and we know it makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us to do what we do - we can assure you that every penny you donate will be used to help others.
