The owners of a new shop in Burnley raised the terrific sum of £700 in one of their first fund raising events.
Build A Box by Sweet City in Hargreaves Street, which opened just after Christmas, hosted an afternoon of attractions and family fun which included children’s entertainment from Burnley Youth Theatre, a face painter and stalls selling cakes, perfumes and many other items. There was also a tombola and raffle. The event was hosted by shop owner Ashton Ferrari and Frankie Salmon of the YUSUF support group for bereaved parents.
The group was launched in January by Frankie and the group’s letters stand for Your Unique Special Unit Of Friends and are also a touching tribute to the name of Frankie’s baby son Yusuf who died in February last year aged just four months old from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome , also known as ‘cot death.’ Attending a support group in Blackburn Frankie became acutely aware of the lack of support in Padiham and Burnley for parents who have lost children. So she set her sights on launching one.
