HUGE congratulations to Roman Way Primary School on achieving Simon Says Champion School status! Pictured here are Charlotte and Katie, who have led the programme within the school. Roman Way has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting bereaved children. 🙏

A HUGE shout out to the incredible Lisa, a dedicated teacher at @marchinfs who raised an amazing £886.98 by climbing Mount Snowdon! The funds raised will not only support our work at Simon Says, but will go towards setting up a Bereavement Kit at Marchwood C of E Infant School.

We are happy to announce that Amanda Hughes has joined our team as our new Family Support Lead. For many years she has been a primary school teacher. She is passionate about helping children thrive, whether at school or at home, whatever their circumstances. Welcome Amanda. 👋

Next month, our amazing volunteer Becky will climb Mount Snowdon to raise vital funds for Simon Says. To find out more and to sponsor Becky, please visit: justgiving.com/page/rebecca-n… Thank you. ❤️

#WorldArtDay At a recent Simon Says Support Group, our children and young people, supported by our wonderful volunteers, completed activities for the theme 'Memories,' and these beautiful pieces of artwork were created by one of our young people. ❤️ Shared with kind permission.

We wanted to share with you this wonderful message that we received from a parent whose children were supported by Simon Says. Messages like these highlight the difference our charity makes to the lives of the bereaved children and young people we support. ❤️
