In loving memory of Stefan Blanchard

Kate Maddaford, a close friend, is organising this fund-raising appeal on behalf of Anna Burroughs.

Anna, her two children, Oliver and Lilly, are absolutely heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected loss of her partner and their dad Stefan Blanchard on the 8th January 2024.

Stef was a kind, gentle and patient, fun, humorous and deeply loving partner and dad. His love for their children Ollie and Lilly was unwavering. He devoted his life to his family.

He had a love of nature which extended to his incredible talent for creating beautiful items from wood, all displaying amazing craftsmanship. Nothing was too difficult, whatever Stef put his hands to became a wonderful creation.

This GoFundMe fundraiser has been created, with the consent of Anna Burroughs, in response to the many requests received from people wanting to help at this difficult time. Anna and Stef’s families are extremely grateful for your support and understanding as they adjust through the challenging times ahead. All contributions of any amount will make a difference in helping Stef’s family through this heart breaking loss.

Your kindness, compassion and generosity are greatly appreciated by Anna and Stef’s families.

Kate Maddaford, on behalf of Anna, Ollie and Lilly.
