Windmills Legacy Ball raises vital bereavement support funding for young people
Windmills bereavement charity saw hundreds of guests, come together on Saturday October 5th at Double Tree Hilton Moat House Hotel, for a Legacy Ball. The special event was held in memory of Becky Tinsley who tragically lost her life to cancer, and raised over £27,000 for the continuation of specialist bereavement support for children and young people living in Staffordshire.
The Windmills charity is 100% funded through legacy donations, community fundraising activities, trusts and grants and contributions from local businesses.
Generously sponsored by Browns Recycling Ltd the Legacy Ball fundraising event has raised over £27k to help continue funding the charity’s work, that has already seen them support over 400 families since it was founded in 2020.
Windmills Charity provides caring, empathetic and expert support to each child through talking, being present, confronting the situation and sharing and working with each child through creative sessions, visits and memory making activities, designed to help guide them through all of the confusion and emotions that news of a loved ones imminent death will inevitably bring.
The bereavement services offered are 100% free to children and young people, thus fundraising is vital to ensure it can continue to support those families when needed the most. Leeanne, Windmills Charity founder commented,
“The funds raised from this year’s ball will help make an immediate impact for the children/young people and their families across Staffordshire. Our thanks go to sponsor, Brown Recycling Ltd and Sherwin Rivers for printing our event programmes.”
