<div>️ Samantha Madgin
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>24.04.89 – 02.08.07
</div>
<div>Forever in our hearts 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Samantha’s smile lit up every room. Her laugh was infectious. Her spirit was unforgettable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But on 2nd August 2007, that light was cruelly taken.
</div>
<div>At just 18 years old, Samantha was stabbed to death by a 15-year-old girl.
</div>
<div>She had no chance of survival and was pronounced dead at the scene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only 68 days earlier, Samantha had become a mother to her beautiful baby boy, Callum. She adored him more than anything in this world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Samantha’s Legacy Lives On
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the wake of this unimaginable loss, Samantha’s Mam, Alison Madgin MBE, and her sister, Carly Barrett MBE, turned grief into purpose founding Samantha’s Legacy, a non-profit committed to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Preventing knife crime
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Supporting traumatised and bereaved families
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Educating and empowering young people
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> And now running Samantha’s Retreat, a peaceful place for grieving families to rest and heal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Samantha’s Retreat – Now a Reality
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to incredible community support, Samantha’s Retreat is now secured. This beautiful, calming space offers cost-free breaks for families affected by trauma, violent crime, or sudden bereavement. It’s more than a holiday it’s a lifeline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we need your help to keep it running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations will help cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upkeep of Samantha’s Retreat (utilities, cleaning, insurance)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mental health support materials and grief resources
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travel support for families in need
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Welcome packs and memory-making items
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ongoing emotional support and check-ins
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> What We Do Beyond the Retreat
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations don’t just keep the retreat going they allow us to continue providing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cost-free educational talks in schools across the North East
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mentoring programmes for at-risk young people
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Community workshops on violence prevention and grief support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Support for families attending court, facing trauma, or navigating loss
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a world where knife crime is rising, our message saves lives.
</div>
<div>And for families already affected, we provide the safe space and support they need to carry on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you raise £10 or £1,000 every penny makes a difference.
</div>
<div>You can help by:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hosting a cake sale, fun day
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Taking part in a sponsored run or walk
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donating in memory of someone
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Choosing Samantha’s Legacy as your charity of the year
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Simply sharing our story
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> In Loving Memory
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Samantha now rests in the arms of her big brother, Lee Madgin
</div>
<div>05.03.86 – 18.05.17
</div>
<div>Lee struggled deeply with losing Samantha. He sadly passed away in 2017, but his love for her remains at the heart of everything we do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their bond and their memory lives on in Samantha’s Legacy.
</div>
<div>A symbol of strength. A commitment to change. A family’s promise to save lives in their name.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> From Our Hearts to Yours
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All of our work so far has been done voluntarily, driven by grief, love, and hope.
</div>
<div>Receiving our MBEs from His Majesty the King was an honour but this journey has never been about titles. It’s about protecting others from the pain we’ve lived through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help, we can keep Samantha’s name alive…
</div>
<div>And ensure that no other family walks this path alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us.
</div>
<div>Samantha &amp; Lee — S &amp; L — Samantha’s Legacy.
