‘Reflect, Restore, Renew’

As you may have seen, Grayson’s Trust has chosen to collaborate and fundraise for Teddy’s Wish. The reason for this, I will go on to tell you…

When Grayson died, we made contact with a highly recommended counsellor called Jenni Thomas. Jenni has been an incredible, invaluable support for us, of which also leads on to why we have chosen to support and collaborate with Rosie’s Rainbow Fund. Jenni is a Patron for both these charities, offering support for bereaved families just like us.

Jenni shared our story with Teddy’s Wish and put our name forward for their annual event ‘Reflect, Restore, Renew’. This we are so very thankful for.

A little about the event…The first event took place in September 2017 and has taken place each year since. Held in the beautiful and idyllic grounds of St. Katherines in Buckinghamshire, a number of bereaved parents join together to share their stories and allow a safe, caring environment to grief and connect with their lost child. Parents take part in various activities such as group therapy sessions, a creative therapy workshop, yoga and mindfulness meditation. An aromatherapist massage or treatment has been offered for parents to relax and unwind in the evenings. These events are fully funded and cost between £2500 and £5000 depending on whether it be a day or weekend retreat. Due to COVID, 2020 parents will be partaking in a day retreat.

Grayson’s Legacy Support Trust is in awe of the aims and purpose of Teddy’s Wish and hope to continue supporting them for many years to come.

A Just Giving page has been set with a goal of £2500 will all donations received going to Teddy’s Wish ‘Reflect, Restore, Renew’ retreat.
