Sandy Bear Charity Announces First Ladies Day for Bereaved Children
Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity is set to host its very first Ladies Day in May 2026, creating a vibrant event filled with fizz, food, live music, and laughter to support children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close to them. Tickets have gone on sale this week, with every penny raised going directly towards Sandy Bear’s bereavement support services, which assist thousands of children, young people, and families annually across Pembrokeshire and wider Wales.
Rising Demand for Bereavement Support
The charity has seen referrals continue to rise year on year, reflecting an increasing need for specialist bereavement support. Like many charities, Sandy Bear faced significant financial pressures last year, at a time when demand for its services was growing rather than slowing. Fundraising events such as Ladies Day play a crucial role in ensuring that support remains available for families when they need it most.
Event Details and Highlights
Ladies Day will take place on Sunday, May 24, at the Black Diamond Room at Hook Sports and Social Club in Haverfordwest. Guests will enjoy prosecco on arrival, afternoon tea by The Bearded Chefs, live music from Preseli Pete and the Bluestone Boys, and a raffle featuring a range of prizes. Organisers are keen to stress that the day is first and foremost about enjoying great company and having a fantastic time, while knowing that the money raised will make a real and lasting difference.
Impact of Funds Raised
Funds raised will help Sandy Bear to continue providing early, specialist support that can change and, in some cases, save young lives by helping children process grief before it becomes overwhelming. Children’s bereavement is often hidden, but its impact can be profound. With the right support at the right time, children are better able to cope, thrive, and move forward. Sandy Bear’s work helps ensure no child has to grieve alone.
Ticketing Information
Tickets are priced at £35 per person, with tables of eight available. Capacity is limited to 120 guests, and early booking is encouraged. Tickets and further information are available on the charity’s website.
