FAMILIES are being invited to join in a summer fun day to support a local charity that supports children through bereavement.

Ringwood’s Furlong Centre will host the day on Thursday, July 26 from 10am-4pm to support the charity Simon Says.

The Hampshire charity, formed in 2002, supports children and their families who have a loved one who is dying or has died. It has 42 volunteers across the south and is the only charity locally offering this kind of support network.

The fun day will feature stalls, games and entertainment from a magician and local musicians, along with a raffle supported by local businesses.
