Warwick Proud Elderly Welfare Services to Warwick & District

04/02/2026

Tomorrow 5th February we say a final farewell to Michael Budgie Byrne who passed last month in a residential care home in Whitnash Leamington Spa Community

Michael worked for many years as a Bookies Clerk at Spa Turf Tachbrook Road, also a part time bar man at the Green Man and the George pub in High street.

He was widowed in 1998 by the death of his wife Irene and then the loss of his son Paul in 2018

As he is reunited with his family funds were not available in consideration of removing the family stone and kerbside at the grave yard. This is something we have taken up to assist with the support of the Community.

If you can assist and pledge support within your budget, every little helps us fund the invoice at warwick proud welfare
We do not expect people who are of limited budget to assist.

We just want Michael to have the ending his family deserves to lay him to rest and reunite them all as one,

Pledge to our Just Giving page and on behalf of the Byrne Family a huge thank you.

A private Burial will be held Tomorrow at 10.30am

Sadly one of our clients have passed away, not only a client but a long life friend for many decades.

Michael Budgie Byrne passed in a residential care Facility on the 9th January 2026.

Michael was a big support to us and in later years we looked after his welfare until it was not feasible to continue due to his health needs,

Michael was ill from last June and under intense NHS health care until his passing last week,

He has a family plot to be laid to rest in, along side his wife and Son. However he did not have funding for the Funeral Directors to open up the grave, preserve the kerb stone surround and relay it in the future months,

This will cost over £2,000 which we at Warwick Proud will fund raise for until we reach that target figure, We do not have essential community funding to be able to do this,

Any pledges of support are welcomed, but only if people are able to support the appeal. either by donating on this page at Just Giving or email
warwickproudwelfare@mail.com

We will provide updates as we go forward.

Many thanks to the community far and wide.

Hydromol Cream Pump edition Required for home use on our Elderly. The cream is the high performance Cream rather than the ointment in the tubs which has a limited effect.

We have to purchase this for clients as many GP surgeries only supply one on a prescription.

If you have any sealed bottles left over from previous use, we would appreciate them saving us funding of at least £18 each with P+P
If you can assist us, please inbox us here and await a reply.

Or you can pledge a donation on Paypal.me/warwickproud2024

Thank you
