Family BBQ for Alfie’s Squad

On the 27th April 24 myself and my good friend Sinead Shimpton are taking on a 10k Born Survivor military assault course containing 30 obstacles and over different terrains.

2023 I met the inspirational Allison Furlong, Alfie’s mum and in 2024 I ran a cookery class for Alfie’s Squad and had the privilege of meeting Alfie and lots of other young people who have sadly lost a loved one to suicide.

Alfie’s Squad is a non-profit organisation founded by 14-year-old Alfie Fitzsimmons. The devastating loss of his father to suicide in May 2017 inspired Alfie to take action and make a difference in the lives of others facing similar challenges.

Our commitment to other children in Alfie’s situation is by offering our unique service utilising team activities in our ‘squads’ to reduce the feeling of isolation, make friends and improve self worth. Our squads are specifically aimed at young people aged 8-16, but will also help parents and carers.

We would love to hold a summer bbq for the families to come together and make new memories.

Im giving my time and equipment for free but need help in raising money for the food, venue and drinks.

Please give what you can and help us give Alfie’s Squad and day to remember
