Mum asked that we celebrate her life by dressing as we would for a family celebration. No mourning attire please.

Family flowers only please. If you are able, please consider giving the gift of life by donating blood and platelets to your local blood bank in Anne’s honour. It is the most incredible gift you can give to a patient and their families, as we have found first hand.

You can register here: https://www.blood.co.uk/  it is a sweet coincidence that Freshbrook Church is one of the venues and can be seen from Grandma’s window.

If you would prefer to make a donation, please support Action on Hearing Loss via this page. Having managed her hearing impairment brilliantly throughout her adult life it was utterly devastating to witness the indifference and ignorance of people towards hearing impairments during the final months of her life. Please support this excellent charity by way of tribute and to help ensure that others do not endure the same.
