New Charity Of The Year: Balloons Charity!

20th January 2025

We are delighted to announce that Balloons Charity has been voted for as our Charity of the Year for 2025. This inspiring local Charity offers vital support to children and young people aged 5–25 who are facing the loss of someone significant in their lives—or who are preparing for such a loss.

Balloons Charity provides tailored support to help young people navigate grief and loss, offering a lifeline during some of life’s most difficult moments. As a small, community-based charity, their work is deeply personal and has a transformative impact on the lives of those they support.

The announcement follows a visit from Nassim, Fundraising Officer at Balloons Charity, who gave an insightful and moving talk to our team about their mission and the essential services they provide.

“We were incredibly inspired by the work Balloons Charity does and the difference they make in the lives of young people during such challenging times,” said Vicky Thompson, CEO. “We are pleased to partner with them and support their vital work over the next year.”

Throughout the year, we will collaborate with Balloons Charity, organising fundraising events to raise as much as we can for the charity. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved in supporting Balloons Charity’s invaluable work.
