In Loving Memory Of Ian James Craddock

We are raising money to help the grieving family of Ian James Craddock, a kind and loving father and partner who sadly passed away on Saturday 10th October. 

Ian was loved by so many people, his friends, family, and all the students he taught while he was teaching at Vale Primary School in Yorkshire, and deputy-headteacher at Langdale Free School in Blackpool. The outpour of support after his passing has been overwhelming, with hundreds of kind people asking what they can do to help.

Ian has left behind his fiancée Rachael and their 4 children Jude, Layla, Cameron, and Kathryn. Even though Rachael & Ian were together for 10 years, because they weren’t married she won’t receive any of the Bereavement Grants of up to £10,000 that are usually given to help support families that have suffered the huge loss of a parent. 

Because of this we are kindly asking you for any donation, big or small, that would help his family and make a huge difference at this difficult time. 

A small part of the money will be used to lay Ian Junior to rest with his brother Lee. They will rest together at Carlton Crematorium in Blackpool. 

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words at this extremely difficult time. We will miss him more than anything.
