In October 2014, following the death of 6 year old Bobby Colleran in a tragic road accident The Bobby Colleran Trust was established. Primarily the trust was set-up to bring awareness of Road Safety to drivers, parents and children and ultimately help to prevent further loss of life in the vicinity of schools and other busy roads in and around the Liverpool City Region.

In 2021, following the height of the Covid19 pandemic, the Trust announced its brand new campaign Take Care for Bobby designed to address the growing need for greater mental health support for children and young people

The Bobby Colleran Trust, recently launched its centre for health and wellbeing after more than eight years of fundraising. Bobby’s Base, in West Derby, will be delivering free health and wellbeing support to children and young people across the city region when the charity plans to open in late Summer 2022.

Featuring three dedicated therapy rooms, including a group therapy space, the centre will also feature a sensory garden and an informal chat and chill space to provide holistic and diverse mental health treatments and support for children and young people.

Bobby’s Base represents a dream milestone for the charity that first launched the well-known ‘Slow Down for Bobby’ road safety campaign in 2014 when 6-year-old Bobby Colleran was killed in a road accident. The impact on the mental health of Bobby’s siblings led his mother, Joanne, to spearhead the improvement of bereavement therapy for young people whilst fundraising through the annual Bobby Blue Day, football tournaments and events.
