I recently met with the founder of the ‘Live Love Laugh Foundation’ regarding their ‘Buddy Bag Appeal’ she is a real asset to South Derbyshire. This appeal’s purpose is to help children who suddenly have to leave their homes because of violent situations and other circumstances which children should never be exposed to, who find themselves living in a Women’s Refuge. The Buddy Bag Appeal seeks to provide a backpack containing necessities and some comfort items so that no matter where the child goes that bag stays with them.
This is a magnificent way in which to help those in need and I commend all those who are involved with the Live Love Laugh Foundation for the amount of time and care they invest in vulnerable children who need a helping hand.
It would be fantastic if South Derbyshire businesses and residents could play a role in helping the Buddy Bag Appeal by donating their time, new spare items, money etc. It would also be a great project for youngsters studying for their Duke of Edinburgh Awards or undertaking the National Citizenship course.
If you would like to help or learn more then please visit their Facebook page or email the Live Love Laugh Foundation.
