Ruby Root sadly passed away on 29th September 2015 at the age of 13, following a brave fight against cancer.

Ruby was an outgoing girl with a great sense of humour who loved socialising and being among her friends. Going out with them to Nando’s or to Costa’s for a hot chocolate were among her favourite things to do.  Ruby also really liked baking cakes and doing all sorts of arty things – especially painting her nails!

Ruby is much missed by her friends who are fundraising to have a bench installed in her memory.

The bench will be located in the garden of the Warren playground, right opposite the home where Ruby lived all her life and where she often used to play as a child.

The family have requested that any remaining funds left over will be donated to Fitzrovia Youth in Action to support FYA's work in the Warren.

Ruby’s friends have already collected over £500 through selling badges they have made. Please help them go the extra mile to create a nice space in the garden of the Warren playground as a fitting tribute
to Ruby.

Whether you can donate £5 or £50, donations of all sizes are needed and most appreciated!

Below are some photographs taken by Ruby, together with some pictures of Ruby with her family.
