Daisy’s Dream has undergone several changes over the past few months, culminating in a move to new office premises in Lower Earley.
Updated branding and a new website has been introduced giving the charity a fresh, new look which is more current and reflective of what Daisy’s Dream stands for. And the appointment of new chair of trustees, David Guille, means that the charity is looking forward to a positive future, David shares what Daisy’s Dream means to him, “I have been associated with the charity for over 27 years – initially as a service user as a result of being widowed with a young daughter and then as a volunteer and trustee. All those years ago I realised first hand what an important service our charity provides both to the bereaved child and their families and I am delighted that we have thrived and continue to be an established, well recognised charity.”
However, the biggest change for Daisy’s Dream has been the move to new premises in Lower Early. This relocation will give the charity the opportunity to become more visible and accessible whilst providing a safe and relaxed environment to welcome children, young people and their families for 1:1 and group support. CEO Laura Lewis explains the difference this new space will make, “Feeling alone and isolated is one of the biggest challenges reported to us by the people we support. We have created a really special, nurturing environment so we can hold groups and individual sessions. Being able to offer support flexibly and sometimes time critically can be essential for our families and this move will allow us to do this. We are really looking forward to growing the different types of support we offer and being able to meet the needs of even more bereaved children, young people and their families.”
We look forward to meeting many families that need us in this new space.
