Looking after families who have recently been bereaved reminds me, on an almost daily basis, of the many amazing charities that are there to support those with life-limiting illnesses and also offer help to their loved ones. I sometimes take part in sponsored events. Families also occasionally ask me to give donations collected after a funeral ceremony, or a gift in memory of their loved one, to a charity of my choice. So, I decided, from 2018, to nominate a Charity of the Year.
