Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity

A huge thank you to the family and friends of Gemma Bateman-Jones, who organised a wonderful bingo and raffle night in Gemma's memory.
The event raised an incredible amount, with the proceeds being shared between Sandy Bear Children's Bereavement Charity and Hospice Care.
Pictured is Gemma's wife, Sarah, and their daughter presenting their generous donation to Leah. We are incredibly grateful for their support and for choosing to honour Gemma's memory in a way that will help other children and families facing bereavement.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make the event such a success. ❤️

As many of us prepare to struggle through the next few days and a heatwave, this afternoon out thanks goes to Hannah-Mae who a week or so ago took on an epic endurance challenge on behalf of Sandy Bear and Children's Hospital.

As if that wasn't enough, straight after the challenge she had a short snooze before heading back out to the pub where she had an auction planned!!!

Setting out to raise £1,500 for the charities, she has reached over £8,200 so far!!! Diolch Hannah-Mae!!!

Still time to support Hannah-Mae via the fundraising page link below.

Feeling inspired? Get in touch to see what you could do to support Sandy Bear work with more Children and families when they need us most!

Iʼm raising money to support Birmingham Children's Hospital / Sandy Bear's Bereavement Charity. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

⚽ What a fantastic day it's been already at the Hundleton Charity Football Festival! 💛

The tournament is now in full flow, with brilliant football being played across the age groups, hundreds of people turning out to support the event, and most importantly, helping to raise vital funds for Sandy Bear.

A huge thank you must go to everyone at Hundleton Football Club. They are a club that genuinely understands the meaning of community. This weekend isn't just about football. It's about bringing people together, supporting local families, and making a real difference whilst having a fantastic time along the way.

There is still plenty to enjoy too.

🌭 Amazing food from the team at D0gged and others including Liv ‘ N ‘ The Spud Life 🙌❤️
📸 Professional Sportraits from Matthew at RawPhotography
⚽ Fantastic football throughout the day
💙 A wonderful community atmosphere from start to finish

If you're looking for something to do this afternoon, or tomorrow, get yourself down to Pembroke Dock Quins and see what it's all about.

You'll be supporting a brilliant cause, enjoying some great football, and helping celebrate everything that's good about grassroots sport and community spirit.

Diolch to everyone who has attended, volunteered, sponsored, played, coached, refereed, organised and supported the event so far.

We'll see you there! 💙⚽💛
