with families facing difficulties surrounding
their children or young people gaining the
support they need. This includes but is not

exciting new venture in the coming year.
We have helped 20 families over the
financial year and although they may not
be able to financially support illuminated
they have been great supporters in
spreading our message and name which
can only help when it comes to future
fundraising.|
