Compassion Autumn Winter 2023

38 tcf.org.uk Congratulations to Anna Read and friends who completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge earlier this year, in memory of Anna's son, Michael. Anna writes... "Thanks to Bhinder for inviting us to join her. All 3 Michael stones are now on the top of each mountain with beautiful views. I'm sure he would think we are nuts. We did this challenge thinking of him every painful step of the way." A huge thank you from all of us at TCF. We are so, so grateful for these funds - and what an amazing way to honour and remember Michael. FUNDRAISING ROUND-UP Thank you so much to Cathy Harris , facilitator of the TCF support group in Solihull, who is pictured here receiving a Tesco Community Grant from Gillian Smith, Community Champion at Tesco Solihull. On the back of TCF having received a Tesco Community Grant from Tesco in southern Edinburgh, TCF members, Claire Allan and Pauline Russell , had a table recently at their local Tesco Superstore at Hardengreen, near Dalkeith. They were able to meet Tesco customers and tell people about the peer support TCF offers. In addition took donations totally nearly £245. Thank you to Lynn Smith and the Derbyshire Centre Caravan and Motorhome Club who made us their Chairman's Charity of the Year and presented TCF with a huge cheque for £2000. This is such amazing support for bereaved parents and siblings and will enable us to provide free places on retreats for those who are struggling financially.
