The Children’s Bereavement Centre (CBC) says its fifth annual Daisy Appeal will bring communities together to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.
The appeal also raises awareness and funds for the free bereavement support services it provides to local children, young people, and families who are facing one of the most devastating times in the lives.
The daisy as the emblem of the campaign symbolises the purity and innocence of childhood, and the enduring love that binds us to those we’ve lost. Daisies also form chains — a poignant reminder of the strong links that connect us, even when someone we love is no longer physically here.
A remembrance service is being held at Southwell Minster on Wednesday, 4th June and a new online memory and tribute platform have been created to remember loved ones.
There are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful difference this year:
