Fundraising for The Bignell Family

The sudden loss of Richard Bignell by his wife Anna & twin 7-year-old daughters, Maia & Elsie, has caused unimaginable sadness & anguish.

Richard’s deep devotion to his family was evident. He brought love, kindness, joy, fun, comfort & security to them all by being ever-present in the girls’ schooling, organising family day trips & his legendary Friday night Dad discos.

Anna is currently dedicated to helping the girls heal. She is there when they call for him in the night and is helping them negotiate their 7-year old lives, which have been disrupted in so many ways, not just emotionally but practically as well.

As friends, we’re looking to help in any way we can. Moving forward is slow & building a ‘new normal’ takes all of Anna’s time & she is currently unable to work. Richard had not been working in the few months before his passing & this fundraiser is vital to ensuring Anna & the girls’ immediate financial security and providing for Maia & Elsie’s ongoing therapy.

Our dear friend, Richard, will remain forever in our hearts & we are committed to supporting Anna, Elsie & Maia for as long as they need us.

There will be more events linked to relevant charities in the future, but in the immediacy, any donations will be truly appreciated & are vital in assisting the family’s immediate financial needs.
