Craig and I are completely and utterly devastated to announce the passing of our incredible daughter, Annabel Greenhalgh, suddenly and unexpectedly, on Friday 14th October 2022.

The magnitude of our shock, grief and complete emptiness is unimaginable. Annabel was the centre of our universe.  Our hearts are shattered. 

We are so incredibly proud of Annabel. She was an inspiration to all. She had a beautiful, kind soul. She was gentle, phenomenally bright, fun and always inclusive of everyone. 

Annabel started to stammer during lockdown and had been having regular speech therapy.  She was fortunate to secure a place on The Fluency Trust residential course in the summer this year. 

The Fluency Trust is a small charity that run highly specialist residential courses for young people that stammer.

The courses are unique in combining intensive speech therapy with outdoor pursuits. The combination of challenging activities and intensive therapy is highly effective in developing confidence and the ability to manage stammering positively.

The residential course had a profound effect on Annabel’s confidence and fluency. I know she would love to be able to enable another child to have the same experience as her.
