In April 2020, 15-year old Adam was killed by a hit and run driver (who was later found to be on his phone and drunk at the time of the incident and is currently serving 6 years in prison).

Pete, Adam's dad, who worked at Barker Ross at the time, was our friend and to see his world fall apart was truly awful, he has and will never recover from losing his boy in such a tragic way.

One of their comforts has been setting up a foundation in his honour. In their words:

"The wonderful young man is no longer here, but his love and desire to create love lives on through everything we do."

To honour his memory, we are raising funds for two causes: helping children who have a passion for music and supporting families in pain and looking for grief and bereavement counselling".

Barker Ross will be supporting the Adam Barry Foundation throughout 2024 and have a target to raise £10,000 for this cause. We will keep you up to date in the new year with plans and how you can support moving forward.
