We spoke to Sam and Noah Lawley who have recently signed up for our Memory Walk and have been fundraising for us.

Sam knew about Primrose Hospice through her workplace, but had never used our services. Unfortunately her Mum (Noah’s Nanny) was diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and sadly died in 2023.

Since then Noah and Freya – his sister, have been coming to Primrose Hospice to take part in the group support we offer to children and young people who are experiencing bereavement or have a family member living with a life-limiting illness.

Sam: “From the last 12 months I really now know how important your support is. Like I say, the support you’ve offered to the children is amazing. You can ring and you speak to somebody and you’re welcome all the time.” 

We asked Noah what his favourite part of the groups were and he loved the kickboxing – which we offer several times a year. He was also able to make a memory book full of memories of his Nanny which he can keep forever.

Noah: “When I’m here I can talk about my feelings and it’s very different to school. It makes you feel better when you talk more.

I was nervous to come here at first but now I really enjoy it. I’d say to other people, don’t be nervous to come here, they aren’t going to bite! I’ve learnt that if I randomly feel sad I have something to take my mind off it.”

Unfortunately, we know there are many more families out there like Sam, Noah and Freya who may be going through the hardest time in their lives. With your support through our Memory Walk we will be able to support more patients and families when they need us the most.

Sam: “Grief touches everybody doesn’t it and this event will bring us all together for the same purpose, which I think is really lovely.”

We are looking forward to seeing Sam, Noah and their friends along with the rest of our community at our new Primrose Memory Walk.
