Compassionate Friends
Going through grief herself prompted Sam to ensure that appropriate support was in place for any pupils at her school going through something similar.
At Leigham Primary School they have now trained many of the staff to be a Compassionate Friend, who are able to support children who are bereaved or are going through anticipatory grief. Sam adds: “I know that our Starfish Club and the support from trained staff to families has made a real difference. It’s something I’m incredibly passionate about.”
Like many others Sam will be giving her passion a purpose on Friday, setting an example to her pupils and celebrating memories of her mum as she takes part in our Midnight Walk.
Tickets for our Midnight Walk, sponsored by Michael Spiers are now sold out. If you are already registered make sure to set up your JustGiving page and see what a difference you can make.
