Last week we were surprised by a lovely donation from Brinkburn Allotments Association who held a raffle and very kindly donated the proceeds of £120 to our charity. Thank you to Diane and everyone involved in donating. Support like this from our community really means the world to us all here at Billy's 💝

With Shannon's permission, we would like to say thank you to everyone who came together to celebrate the life of Blaine Hodgson and chose to support Billy’s Lifeline through donations. Your love, presence, and your generosity have brought comfort during an incredibly hard time. Your support strengthens the work being done and honours Blaine in a meaningful way.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the loss of Blaine. If you’re struggling with grief or just need some space for a cuppa and a chat please know that we are here for you.
Love Team Billy ❤️‍🩹
