My nan was so special in so many ways. Such a loving, caring and beautiful person. I think I speak on behalf of all her family and friends, when I say there will be a big hole in our lives now she has passed. I will always remember her amazing humour, always laughing and giggling at herself and those around her. Her smile brightened up a room and her strength was awe inspiring. She will be greatly missed but I will hold on to all the wonderful memories with her so tightly. Mary Warner was truly one of a kind! 

My nan really loved children and was very fond of the charity I work for and the work we do. I used to sit down with her and have long talks about the challenges children face and how The Kids Network is trying to support these children. It brought a smile to her face knowing there were organisations like ours out there, really making a difference to children lives and their families too.  

Family was also the most important thing in her life and she held us all close in her heart. Therefore, as a family, we felt she would have loved that donations in her memory would have gone to support one of her Grandchildren’s work.

Here is a little bit about the charity: 

The Kids Network supports children at a crucial time in their lives, in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school. We do this by providing them with a volunteer mentor, a local hero from their London community.

They exist because 38% of children situated in inner London live in poverty. As an organisation, we want to support as many children as possible. 50% of mental health issues can be diagnoses before the age of 14, our aim is to prevent this. We pair vulnerable 8-11 year olds with professional mentors within the London districts. To create a better sense of community.

The children receive over 100+ hours of support, administered
through weekly sessions, with the simple incentive of providing a child with the invaluable resources, human connection and support.

Thank you for your donations and helping to make a difference to children's lives.
