My mission as Patron is to ensure that support is accessible, understood, and embraced, helping every bereaved heart find its way toward the light.

Grief is a landscape no one chooses to walk, yet it is a journey we will all face at some point in our lives. It is the universal tax on love. 


My own path into this territory began on a Tuesday morning in June 2023, when my son Barnaby was taken in the Nottingham attacks.  In an instant, the life I knew was dismantled, and I was forced to navigate a catastrophic trauma under a very public spotlight. 


What I have learned in the years since is that while my story hit the headlines, grief and loss come in many forms. Whether it is the sudden shock of a tragedy, the long goodbye of a terminal illness, or the quiet ache of a life-changing transition, the weight of it can feel impossible to carry alone. We often mistake "getting on with it" for strength, but I’ve found that true bravery lies in the vulnerability of reaching out. 


I am incredibly proud to become a Patron for the National Grief Advice Service. My journey has taught me that while grief is a deeply personal experience, healing cannot happen in a vacuum.  Getting the right help and professional support isn't a sign of weakness; it is a vital lifeline. It provides the tools to process the unthinkable and helps bridge the gap between simply surviving and eventually finding a way to carry your loss with purpose. 


No one should have to shoulder the heaviest moments of their life in silence.
