🌟 Introducing Harlee’s Angels: Supporting Families in Need 🌟

In memory of our son Harlee, we founded Harlee’s Angels to help families devastated by the sudden loss of a child. When tragedy struck our family, we faced unimaginable grief, and we want to lighten the burden for others in similar situations.

Our charity provides financial assistance for essentials like groceries and household bills, as well as funding for counseling. We understand how overwhelming this time can be.

If you or someone you know needs support, we are here for you. Together, we can honor the memory of our loved ones and help families heal.

❤️ Please share to spread the word! ❤️

We recently presented a cheque for £6250 to Matthew Stone, Leader of Sholing Salvation Army, from money raised through our Recycling of Metals Scheme.
Matthew expressed his gratitude “We are deeply thankful for this generous donation and the recognition from the Bereavement Services Team. This support will enable us to continue our mission of listening to the community and responding with practical help where it is needed most. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling.

We recently presented a cheque for £6250 to Will Ham from local charity "Maggie's Southampton" from money raised through our Recycling of Metals scheme.
Will said "“On behalf of everyone at Maggie's Southampton, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Southampton Crematorium for the recent donation of £6,250 through the crematorium’s metal recycling scheme.
We are thrilled to receive this generous amount of money which enables Maggie's to support individuals and families navigating the challenges of cancer. Last year we supported over 15,000 visits at our centre; each time being there for people living with cancer, and their loved ones. This donation could fund over 100 sessions with a psychologist to help alleviate extreme stress and anxiety.
Maggie's is a different kind of cancer care: Bright and welcoming spaces, help with money worries and managing stress, and a friendly place to go when you need someone to listen. We provide expert support to everyone with cancer and all the people who love them. It's always free and you don't need an appointment - just come in.
