THE family and friends of Gemma Bateman-Jones organised a bingo and raffle night in Gemma's memory. It raised an incredible amount, with £1,540 of the proceeds going to Sandy Bear Children's Bereavement Charity.

Sandy Bear is expressed heartfelt gratitude for their support and for choosing to honour Gemma's memory in a way that will help other children and families facing bereavement.

“Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make the event such a success.”

The event’s proceeds were divided between Sandy Bear and Hospice Care.
