Ava's Gift of Family Day's Out
Thanks to Ava's gift, we are able to offer day's out to help families during their grief journey. When a family are able to, a day out may provide a distraction from the grief, evoke positive emotions and bonding time. Below are the attractions we can provide free passes to, please contact us via 'Request Support'. Details of our Christmas event for families is below.
Ava's older sister Olivia was 4 at the time of Ava's birth and death, and eventually, getting away for days out as a family was crucial in trying to repair and rebuild from the sadness.
Meet Ava. Ava Bay Gill was a very much loved and wanted little sister to Olivia. Very sadly Ava died unexpectedly aged 7 days. Debbie, our chair of trustees and Ava's daddy Anthony have raised money in Ava's name and this will fund Ava's gift.
Christmas Event
This Christmas we are very pleased to be working with Langford Lakes to take our community to the special event that is Enchantment. This is a ticketed event and any family based in Somerset and the surrounding areas can apply to join us. As always, we prioritise families who have had a loss in the last 12 months, or a change in that time, such as welcoming a rainbow baby. We will try to take as many families with us as we can. This event is also open to parents without children, but please be aware there will be children and babies present. Please submit your interest using the form below before the 9th November 2025, and keep the day/time free. We will notify all families either way as soon possible after this date.
The event is on:
Saturday 6th December 5.30pm
Langford Budville, near Wellington in Somerset. Postcode is TA21 0RS.
Please refer to the 'Plan your visit' page on the Enchantment website for any questions regarding the experience. Plan Your Visit - Enchantment at Langford Lakes
