It can be the little things that help.
Our grandsons team were struggling to get new strips for this season so we were only to happy to help by sponsoring them at Blyth Town football club. It’s the grass roots team work that helps the younger generation flourish.

Lest We Forget
Earlier this week we had the privilege of escorting a forces veteran on his final journey. His lovely family then offered his beautiful poppy floral tribute for our display. It has taken pride of place in our reception area.
On this Remembrance Sunday take a moment to remember all those we have lost in conflict fighting for freedom.

The table below shows how staying local can meet your needs whilst also still providing a personal touch.

A beautiful set of cufflinks created by Kelsey for her dad Mark for Father’s Day last month from all of his children,with the ashes of both his Mam and Dad in. As you know Mark’s Mam died in May so it felt just right for this gift this year. He was so pleased with them and had worn them with pride.
