News snips from around England and Wales WellChild helps support seriously ill children and their families, enabling many terminally ill children to leave hospital and return home, often wheelchair-bound and requiring 24-hour attention, whilst also supporting their siblings and parents. Child Bereavement UK supports children who have experienced death in their family and provides training to professionals across the spectrum of child bereavement. Twenty-four team members from across the Peak, alongside instructors from Lea Green, helped out at the various activities, enjoying the day as much as their young guests. Needless to say, the youngsters couldn’t get enough of the fun either. A brilliant and inspiring day. As one team member said: ‘the sort you come away from with a very different perspective on life’. Every year since 2009, Mountain Rescue England and Wales has entertained the young people and their families from some of the charities under the patronage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, to enable these often very poorly or disadvantaged youngsters to take part in a day of adventure they might not otherwise experience. In 2019, it was hosted by teams from the Peak District and based at Lea Green near Matlock. JUNE 2019: Another successful day of fun-filled, outdoor activities for some of the children’s charities supported by the Royal family.
