All of the team at DQ Advocates are proud to continue their association with a charity which provides invaluable bereavement support to local families.

Every year since 2016 we have supported CruzKids, part of Cruse Bereavement Care Isle of Man as it offers confidential support.

Over the past decade, CruzKids has helped more than 1,000 bereaved children and young people in a variety of ways, through one-to-one bereavement support, awareness sessions at high schools and other activities.

The Manx-registered charity provides social opportunities in informal settings and allows those affected to meet with others who have also experienced a significant death. Events include a monthly social club, family days and residential weekends, holiday clubs and a mentoring scheme.

In recent years, DQ has raised funds through bucket collections and quizzes and, each year, staff wrap all the presents for the CruzKids Annual Christmas Party.

Yet again, the children all had a fantastic time in December and were delighted when Santa and Buddy the pony arrived with Christmas gifts.

We look forward to working with and supporting this invaluable organisation again throughout 2020.
