In memory of my nephew Brandon Sutton x

On the 1st January 2023 we lost my beautiful nephew Brandon who was the most amazing example of an 18 year old. He was kind, talented, caring and loved by so many people. He tragically died in a tragic car accident.

Brandon was 18 and in his second year on The Football and Education course with Burton Albion Community Trust and Burton And South Derbyshire College. He loved his football amongst many other things and his parents have chosen to work with Burton Albion Community Trust to ensure that we honour his memory and raise money for a worthwhile and local cause that we know he would have been proud to have been involved in. Brandon had hoped to go on and become a football coach, he was a fantastic communicator and was very patient and this combined with his love and passion for football we know would have developed into a very successful career for him.

Why we're raising money

We wish to support Burton Albion Community Trust to develop a Young Persons Bereavement help point. This project will offer young people accross East Staffordshire a safe place to gain support from peers when dealing with loss and bereavement. Working alongside St Giles, the Trust and us as a family aim to spend the next few months developing this offer.

We also wish to use any monies raised to help support the roll of of Wellbeing programmes in schools across the area. Again these will offer young people a place to talk and share feelings along with helping them develop the skills to deal with every day life and the challenges this can bring.

By doing this we feel we can make sure we leave a powerful and meaningful legacy in our beautiful boys memory. you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Burton Albion Community Trust and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
