Browno Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Hi guys. Norwich fan here in peace! Massive well done on promotion. Matt Gill’s family lived in our village in Norfolk whilst he was at Norwich and Ipswich, and he has kindly donated a squad signed shirt to a charity that I’m a trustee of. His daughter was good friends with a young girl in our village named Amber. Amber was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2019, she fought like a true warrior but sadly lost her cancer battle in 2023 aged 8. Amber went on a journey of memory making before she passed away, and Amber’s Army now helps families in similar scenarios make memories and experiences that last a lifetime for the whole family. What we do… We are committed to creating memories and experiences that will last a lifetime for the WHOLE family not just the poorly child. We are also there to provide emotional support. When Amber was given a terminal diagnosis, we made a bucket list of seemingly ‘impossible’ experiences and were able to make the impossible happen. We are not a ‘wish’ charity and know that beautiful memories are often the smallest days out, precious family time, experiences money can’t buy and, most important of all, each memory we help create is filled with love, laughter and smiles. How we do it… Families are either referred to us by Norfolk Hospitals or Hospices or can self-refer. We are on social media and have physical media placed in selected relevant locations. We then begin to work with the family and build a relationship with the WHOLE family to ensure that no family member is excluded. Amber’s Army will then begin to plan what the family needs and wants in relation to making memories and amazing experiences, but also assist in signposting the family to other means of emotional and financial support during this period. Amber’s Army is only able to do this through support, fundraising and donations, along with assistance with resources to enable the charity to function. If you’d like to get involved in the raffle, please visit ambersarmy.org.uk/saints Thanks for taking the time to read this, and all the best next season.
