At Show The Light we are proud to support 2 charities that are very close to Susie.G’s heart.
Reuben’s Retreat
About Reuben’s Retreat
Reuben’s Retreat is a registered charity in the North West of England and was formed after the tragic loss of Reuben Michael Graham at just 23 months old from an inoperable brain tumour.
Their mission is to provide practical, social and emotional support to those bereaved of their child and those who face an uncertain future with a complexly or terminally ill child.
They provide monthly support groups, holistic therapies, meditation evenings, and one to one counselling for parents and siblings.
Why Susie chose this charity
Susie heard about this charity whilst being at Reuben’s Retreat on her coaching training course. She then went on to meet senior fundraiser Stacey Kirkpatrick at a BNI group.
Nothing’s a coincidence…..people come into your life for a reason, some for a long time and some for a short spell.
This charity is really close to Susie’s heart for a few different reasons.
Susie suffered loss at an early age, her dad passed away when she was 15, her mum when she was 25 and her husband when she was 43. Therefore, supporting families through their worst moments is something that Susie is very passionate about.
This was the charity of choice at the first Women’s N Wellbeing event run in July in Susie’s front garden of all places!
