Children’s support for charity sky high
Baloons released during colourful sponsored walk
The Uxbridge Gazette Series BEREAVED children sent a message to family members and friends in the sky during a sponsored charity walk in Hayes.
Halo Children’s Foundation’s charity sponsored walk was opened by the Deputy Mayor of Hillingdon Carol Melvin on Saturday May 21.
The day was a ‘great success’ which saw a release of colourful balloons to mark the event at Barra Hall Park.
The charity supports children and their families who have lost a loved one and holds a monthly expressive arts and play group at Uxbridge College, offering art therapy, counselling and behaviour management.
Founder and mum-oftwo Alia Jones launched the charity after she lost her partner in 2011, two weeks after giving birth to her second child Jaida, while older sister Neveah was only two-years-old.
She said: “Halo pay for families to go on trips to help create new memories together and with funding our main aim is to open a bereavement centre where families can come to, to get the support they need as there is nothing like this offered in the community at the moment.”
