Mysterious Minds: Bringing Comfort to Bereaved Children

In December 2024, HEY Smile Foundation’s Smile Chances Christmas Appeal made a significant impact on the lives of children affected by suicide. Through the generosity of local businesses and a special partnership with Nurture A Child, who provided match funding, a total of £7,200 was raised and donated to Mysterious Minds, a charity dedicated to supporting children bereaved by suicide.

This substantial contribution enabled Mysterious Minds to create 60 memory boxes for children who have lost a loved one to suicide. These memory boxes serve as a crucial tool in the healing process, providing children with a tangible way to remember and honour their loved ones while navigating their grief.

The impact of this donation on Mysterious Minds was profound. Co-founders of the charity expressed their heartfelt gratitude:

“To say we are blown away is an understatement. Chelsey and I are amazed, and we really can’t thank you enough for this generous and massive donation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

This initiative demonstrates the power of community collaboration in addressing sensitive and often overlooked issues. By supporting Mysterious Minds, HEY Smile Foundation and its partners have helped provide comfort and support to children during one of the most challenging times in their lives.

The success of this project highlights the ongoing need for such support services and the positive impact that targeted charitable giving can have on specialised organisations like Mysterious Minds.
