Tickets for our 60th Birthday Celebrations on Wednesday 1 May are now available to purchase through ParentPay.  We are asking for donations for “Memories are Better than Dreams ……..” in memory of Lara who sadly passed away in September last year.

“Memories are Better than Dreams ……………………” – based in Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock.

Lara loved Onthank Primary and all her friends she made here.  She loved to smile, laugh, dance and help people.  She had so many lovely, happy memories of school and we are so thankful for this and all the support we have had from her friends and staff at the school.   Lara, her Dad and I found so much comfort and support from this very special local charity and it would be lovely if we could continue to support them.  It’s the little things that make such a difference and always to remember the happiness in the saddest of times ……….

Memories are Better than Dreams aims to help families make special memories with their children towards the end of their life and following their death.

Having a child with a long term condition is very stressful for families and places considerable financial strain on them with parents often having to give up work to care for their child.  This can make it very difficult for the family to provide the opportunities to make lasting memories of their child.

They provide memory making activities, headstones for the child, special memory boxes, remembrance items such as necklaces of handprints but the help they give is individual to each family and tailored to fulfil their wishes.
