Thank you to St James's Place for their generous grant of £2500, awarded to us in December.  We really appreciate your support and this amount will go directly on supporting 5 families with memory-making days, activities and counselling. #akedarmy #sjpcharitablefoundation

We send out care packs to all new families referred to us, to hopefully bring a smile at such a difficult time and allow them to enjoy a movie night at home together. These lovely packs come via @notanotherbunch chrisakedfoundation.co.uk/re…  #akedarmy #carepacks
