The very survival of the Charlies-Angel-Centre Foundation is at risk due to a fundraising crisis that could spell the end for its bereavement centre
It said: “Covid has finally taken its toll. Over the last couple of years we have tried really hard to keep the Bereavement Centre open, when it’s been very hard not having funds coming in. We are not a funded charity and rely on members of the public to support us. We know how important the charity is to people who need our help.Charlie, who had a rare condition called Potter’s Syndrome, died soon after at he was born Leeds General Infirmary in December 2012.
Having found there was little or no high-quality support for grieving families, Carrie-Ann and close family members came together the following year with a plan to do something to help others in the same situation. They founded Charlies-Angel-Centre in 2013, became a registered charity in 2017 and opened the centre in 2019.
While the charity had always managed to stay around two years ahead with its funding, the pandemic meant it was not able to host its usual fundraising events. Earlier this year, it launched the ‘Charlie's Challenge 10’ fundraiser to mark what would have been Charlie’s 10th birthday and try to rebuild its funds.
