Man time

Well- it’s definitely proved that these sessions are VITAL.

Thank you to each person who walked through the doors and joined us. We know that in itself takes a lot! If just one person turn up, we’d still put them on because that could potentially be a life saved.

The feedback, oh my goodness.

The power of having the opportunity to feel safe and be able to just express how you’re feeling.

Alex, our mental health professional, gave immediate feedback saying it went VERY well. Alex is such a pocket of positivity and encouragement.

Then the feedback from some people who attended.

“That was so good, Alex is unbelievable “.

Well what a quote.

The stand out for me that night,

“I took my son along because I think it’s important he sees others opening up about their feelings and how important that is. So he knows that it’s important to talk about things.”

Now that’s what you call positive parenting! Superhero Dad !

Huge thanks to the volunteers of this night, Luke Rees and Marc Barrow. Who made the best cuppa???? Without volunteers we can’t put on events. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Although we are taking family time for August, Alex has decided to continue the sessions and do a walk and talk on 14th August starting at the Fendrod lake 6.30 pm for around an hour. Because this group is so keen to keep going! No break needed.

Thank you Alex

Thank you men at man time

‼️ MAN TIME ‼️
12/9/2025 6.30-7.40 pm

It’s been a little while, as we took a break over August to have family time. But the Coed Gwilym pavilion doors in Clydach, are back open on Friday 12th September for our monthly man time, donut and a cuppa. We will also have apples and bananas as we are conscious that healthy food plays a huge part in our mood and well being.

Age doesn’t matter, you can be 18 or 80! You’re all welcome. But let’s remember those statistics. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men aged 18-35 in the UK.
Suicide is the single biggest killer for men under 50, and figures consistently show that males account for approximately three-quarters of suicide deaths.

Please note:-
under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult.

Whether you’re struggling or just fancy catching up for a chat, please try and make your way through those doors. Take a look at Andys Man Club to see what a huge impact their sessions have had.

Alex, our mental health professional will be there again as always, offering his professional knowledge but also his personal experiences. He really is one of the nicest guys you could meet and we are so very grateful to have him as such an important part of our charity.

This session is supported by our triathlon club SVT Swansea Vale Tri, and we are forever grateful for the support they’ve given us as a family since the tragic loss of our son, Nicky.

You can just turn up! But if you know you’re definitely coming, drop us a message so we make sure we have enough 🍰 for you.

Hope to see you there.

Today, I was fortunate to attend a mental health first aid course ( day 1) organised through GV and port talbot harriers and delivered by NPTCC, MHFA Wales GV 70.tri Aberavon Middle Distance Triathlon

I was pretty terrified, to be honest, knowing there’d be multiple personal triggers, but at the same time, I believed this course was essential.
The care from the course lecturers, due to the sensitivity and nature of the course, was second to none. Allowing time out at any point.
It was a lovely group.
The content was hard, hitting but invaluable, and essentially light-hearted on times to balance the very sensitive and difficult topics. I truly believe this course should be held in all educational establishments, offered to parents by these establishments, and in all club/group/creative arts/sport team environments.
This mental health first aid course WILL save lives.
I have one word about this course:

ESSENTIAL.

Thank you to the organisers, deliverers, and participants.

I just wish I knew all of this information sooner. I truly believe Nicky would be here had he received the right help and guidance, plus if we as parents had the advice I received today.

Things are changing and will continue to change. It was mentioned how Australia is heaps ahead of us with mental health care. So, a lot of the content was Australian based.
So let’s do it. Let’s be more like Australia and take mental health concerns and issues to a new level.

If you have concerns about someone, please don’t be scared to ask that dreaded question. “Are you feeling suicidal?” You can also call nhs 111/2 with your concerns. Plus, there are charities tagged below and helplines attached.

Please, if you get a chance to attend a mental health first aid course- grab it! I have learnt so much already.

If You’re Nervous About Results Tomorrow

It’s completely normal to feel butterflies (or a whole stampede) in your stomach right now. You’ve put so much into this year, and tomorrow feels huge.

But here’s the truth: your results are not the whole story. Yes, they can open one door, but there are always other doors, windows, and paths you haven’t even seen yet.

Tonight, try to give yourself a little breathing space:
• Switch off the “what if” loop. Distract yourself with a favourite show, a book, listen to some music, or be with someone who makes you laugh.
• Be kind to yourself. You’ve done your best with what you knew at the time—that’s all anyone can ask.
• Rest. Tomorrow will be easier to face with a clearer head.

However the results turn out, they don’t define your worth. You are so much more than a set of grades, and there are always ways forward—some you might not have imagined yet.

You’ve made it this far, and that’s already something to be proud of.

Thinking of you all for tomorrow.

Much love

They were awesome! What a day. 🧡🧡🧡🧡 we flew the flag and wore our 4N;cky tops. Raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, while remembering and honouring all those taken from us by suicide💔.
Nicky, I miss you every second of everyday sweetheart. My eyes search for you everywhere I go. I wish you knew how much you were loved. My heart aches so much. Miss you forever, love you for eternity 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Michael Thomas Jon Charles we are so proud of you both!

Thank you everyone whose messaged 🙏🏻really means so much 🧡🧡🧡🧡

@jonathancharles11575 @mikeyt002 @swanseavaletri @gjendurance_coaching_ Today our Mike ( Nicky’s step dad) and our good friend Jon, take on the Alpe D’Huez triathlon, in the French Alpes 🇫🇷.

The reason- Both for personal challenges and to raise awareness for mental health in memory of our Nicky.

It’s not always about raising funds, this one is to spread the message that when we are faced with challenges that may seem impossible to overcome, we can push through. We can get through the dark moments. Because there are better things to come, and when we look back we can be so proud of how far we’ve come.
When we challenge ourselves it gives us purpose and determination, which results in achievement and self pride.

We can’t wait to track you, follow you, support you and cheer both throughout the day.

It’s a stunning 2.2 km lake swim, followed by…

An insane 118 km ride with approx 3500m of climbing ( basically just keep going up!!!) which finishes with the famous 21 turns of Alpe D’Huez.

Then onto the 20 km run which is a mix of trail and hill, taking them to the finish line.

It’s quite chilly here at top, and the altitude makes a huge difference to their heart rate.

They are setting off soon- yes they have to ride around an hour to the start point just to add to the challenge 🫣😬

Good luck Mike and Jon. We are so very proud of you, for the months of training, grit and determination, and for raising awareness about something so incredibly important - mental health.

🔥 So Friday- What a night! 🔥

Last October we got in touch with the TSP boys and Jordan at the Bunkhouse about possibly having a memorial gig for Nicky.

The response blew our minds.

The stray pursuit were instantly keen and excited! Jordan’s reply both warmed and broke my heart all in one.

He said he was definitely on board with this, and that all door sales would go to charity- something we just did not expect.
He went on to say how he remembered Nicky gigging there, and that he himself had also lost 2 very special friends to suicide. So it was a cause very close to his heart. We have liaised since then, got a date that suited everyone- as the boys have had such an incredible year, you can imagine a date was actually quite a task in itself. Having it on the 18th July seamed so fitting, as it was just days after Nickys birthday where he would have turned 23.

The artists performing Friday were absolutely incredible!

Thank you to everyone who attended our wonderful sound bath session tonight with Yoga Junkie.

We hope it helped you find some peace, calmness and connection amongst the trauma within our lives.

What a stunning setting and environment with such a powerful yet calming experience.

There are not enough words to express the pure beauty of this tranquil place.

Thank you to our fundraisers who give us the opportunity to provide alternative therapies like this. Bringing people together. Connection. Looking after the mental health and well being of those struggling with life changing trauma.

Our children’s vocal session.

With the amazing Kirstie Roberts 🎤 🎶
who has a magical way with the children.
Seeing them settle in and gain confidence was so heartwarming.
Kirstie picked a song with such important and meaningful lyrics, to the point I just blubbed my way through at one point. ( I was having an emotional week so this just brought it all out!)

Count on me - Bruno Mars.

Another mum hit the nail on the head by saying,
” the lyrics are a reminder that you really do find out who your true friends are when you go through something so traumatic.”❤️‍🩹
Another mum ,” she sang the lyrics all the way home in the car”. 🙏🏻💖
We then had donuts, a drink and a play in the park.
Thank you Coed Gwilym park Pavilion. Thank you Kirstie, and thank you to our beautiful families for joining us.
We’ve had amazing craft, drum, ukulele and singing sessions this year. Thank you to everyone involved including our amazing volunteers for helping us make this happen.

We are now taking a break until September to reset and spend much needed time to reflect with our family.

Please if you know of families suffering trauma affecting the mental health of their children, ask them to contact us to find out what we have going on for our young people.

It’s important to add that we are a purely volunteer run charity. If you have a mental health emergency you must see your GP for professional advice or call 999 in the case of an emergency. There is also 111 and the mental health option, if you need advice and help.

We didn’t take pics on the night - we were too busy concentrating on the lyrics 🤣

Much love

What a week!

So as a family it’s been a very difficult and emotional week for various reasons.
But the support and events this week have been just brilliant. I’ll post about each one individually but this one is to summarise a very productive week.

🧡The children’s session 🎉 ✔️ =connection through the power of music.
Seeing those children smile was truly beautiful.

🧡The man time- 🧡✔️men getting together and having the confidence to get things off their chest. Say it as it is. Because talking is a release. Talking saves lives. It’s OK to not be OK, but it’s so important to talk about it. We can all get each other through the dark times.

🧡The charity memorial gig at the Bunkhouse🎉✔️ blimey! Incredible! what an awesome night with outstanding bands and beautiful people!

🧡Our match funding company who supports us incredibly recently took on the Yorkshire 3 peaks. So keep an eye for that post.

🧡One of our awards schools has raised an incredible £1010 from their staff sponsored walk.
Now for the individual posts.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🎉

And finally our schools awards were handed out across 6 schools. 3 in swansea and 3 in Neath. These are schools that have supported us both as a family and charity.
We had 2 year 6 leavers awards for each school. One for most committed and promising musician, and one for kindness to others. Congratulations to all of these wonderful pupils.

Our last ‘MAN TIME MEET UP’ was a huge success. Some who came have kept in touch and joined us at the Coed Gwilym Park Run. One of the best things you can do on a Saturday morning! And yes- you can walk it if you want 🧡. We’ve even talked about a Saturday Social Cycle, and the option of referral for 121 counselling.
So now it’s time for our next one 🎉.

Men’s Mental Health Walk & Chat – With a Cuppa and Cake
📍 Pavilion Café, Coed Gwilym Park, Clydach
🤝 In collaboration with Swansea Vale Triathlon 💖💛💙🧡

THIS TIME OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL IS GIVING A TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING.

Alex, is a really lovely guy, fantastic mental health professional, but more profoundly has his own personal and devastating story to tell about the depths of mental health struggles. He’s full of love, energy, empathy and loves a good chat with a tidy piece of cake! This talk will be followed by an invite for anyone else to share anything within the group if they wish, then if the weather is good and time is on our side, we can have a stroll down the canal and a more informal chat between ourselves.

It’s so important for men to come together, feel safe, and be able to open up about any worries, thoughts, or challenges they’re facing.
Mental health and well-being are vital.

🖤 Suicide is the biggest killer of people under 35 — and the biggest killer of men under 50.
We have to look after each other. We have to talk. We have to end the stigma.

We tragically lost our beautiful son, Nicky Christmas ‘22. He was just 20 with so much to look forward to.
We don’t want any other family to go through what we are going through, and we don’t want any more lives lost.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a Men’s Mental Health Walk & Talk, followed by a warm cuppa and cake. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure safe space for men to connect, listen, and support each other — whether you’re feeling a bit crap or on top of the world.

Let’s spread the message: It’s good to talk.
Let’s take care of each other.

Check the poster for full details – and bring a mate.
You’re not alone. 💬☕🍰

Huge gratitude to my amazing tri club @swanseavaletri 💖💛💙and my awesome coach Gareth at @gjendurance_coaching_
🩵 you got me not only to the start line but to that red carpet 🙏🏻.
Wow support like never before! 💖

Huge shout out to every club out there cheering and supporting. To everyone who took part. Big shout out to the incredible volunteers, and of-course my beautiful family and friends.

I cried a lot- as expected.

Pre swim. How I just wished he was there. I just wanted to give him a huge hug. It was very emotional.

The bike. Such a stunning yet leg burning course. The most beautiful scenery. I talked to Nicky a lot on the bike. Had many moments- proper balling my eyes out( when no one was around, didn’t want anyone to think I was hating the ride that badly 🤣).

The run - 2 words- painful. Hot !

Felt honoured to share the course with very many beautiful people who I feel blessed to call my friends. The kindness in the people I’ve met in triathlon is so heartwarming.

Absolutely landed with my PB time of 6:01 and 6th in AG.

Nicky won’t ever get the chance to do these things, so we will do them in his memory.

Swansea Ironman you were absolutely incredible🙏🏻

Miss you beyond words beautiful boy. 😭 💔❤️‍🩹

Beth and ffi. I adore you both, just like Nicky did and always will xxxx

Our Final Children’s Session Before Summer Break – Thursday, 17 July 2025

Please note – this session is on a Thursday instead of our usual Friday due to other events throughout July.

We’re closing out our summer sessions with something truly special.

We’re incredibly lucky to welcome the amazing Kirstie Roberts for a powerful, uplifting singing session. You can read more about Kirstie in the attached poster – but in short, she’s not only shared stages with the very best in the music world, she’s also deeply spiritual, intuitive, simply brilliant with young people and very proud of our Welsh language having been taught through Welsh medium.
( I’ve just added that last bit in - does it make sense ?)

Whether your child is outgoing, shy, anxious, grieving, or just unsure – Kirstie has a gift for lighting up a room and connecting with everyone in a magical, meaningful way. Her presence is something you truly have to experience to understand.

Kirstie also knew our beloved Nicky personally. They worked together musically, and she even gave Nicky a reiki session – so this one carries a deep emotional thread for all of us.

⸻

Why Singing Matters

Singing and music can be powerful tools for healing, especially for children navigating grief. This session is especially for bereaved children – a chance to connect, express, and be supported in a joyful, nurturing space, all while taking care of their mental health and well being.

Details:
• Date: Thursday, 17 July 2025
• Time: [4.30-5.30 plus 30 mins family chat time after]
• Place: Cydach- confirmation on booking. ]
• Cost: Fully funded (free of charge)

Parents: You’re welcome to stay, chat over tea and cake, or drop off – our amazing, fully DBS-checked volunteers will be on hand.

⸻

If you think your child or another child you know would benefit from this session, please book a place by:
📧 Emailing us at the4nickyfoundation@outlook.com
📩 Or sending us a DM on Facebook.

Let’s make this last session before summer a beautiful one.

Much love,
Team #4N:cky
Diolch. ❤️

Ein Sesiwn Olaf i Blant Cyn y Gwyliau Haf – Dydd Iau, 17 Gorffennaf 2025 🌼
Sylwer – sesiwn ar ddydd Iau yw hon yn hytrach na’r dydd Gwener arferol, oherwydd digwyddiadau eraill ym mis Gorffennaf.

Rydyn ni’n gorffen ein sesiynau haf gyda rhywbeth arbennig iawn.

Mae’n fraint gennym groesawu’r anhygoel Kirstie Roberts ar gyfer sesiwn ganu bwerus ac ysbrydoledig. Gallwch ddarllen mwy am Kirstie yn y poster sydd ynghlwm – ond yn gryno, mae hi wedi rhannu llwyfannau gyda’r gorau yn y byd cerddorol, yn berson ysbrydol ac reddfol iawn, yn wych gyda phlant, ac yn hynod falch o’i Chymreictod, gan iddi gael ei haddysgu drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

Boed eich plentyn yn allblyg, yn swil, yn orbryderus, yn galaru neu’n ansicr – mae gan Kirstie’r gallu i gysylltu â phawb mewn ffordd hudolus a chynnes. Mae’n rhaid profi ei phresenoldeb i’w ddeall.

Roedd Kirstie hefyd yn adnabod ein hanwyl Nicky yn bersonol. Fe wnaethant gydweithio’n gerddorol, ac fe roddodd sesiwn Reiki iddo – felly mae cysylltiad emosiynol dwfn iawn rhyngddi hi a ni.

🎵 Pam mae canu’n bwysig
Gall canu a cherddoriaeth fod yn offerynnau pwerus ar gyfer iacháu – yn enwedig i blant sy’n wynebu galar. Mae’r sesiwn hon yn benodol ar gyfer plant mewn profedigaeth – cyfle i gysylltu, mynegi, a chael cefnogaeth mewn gofod hapus, caredig a chyfeillgar, sy’n ystyried eu lles meddyliol hefyd.

📌 Manylion
Dyddiad: Dydd Iau, 17 Gorffennaf 2025

Amser: 4.30–5.30pm, gyda 30 munud o sgwrsio teulu ar ôl y sesiwn

Lleoliad: Clydach (cadarnhad ar ôl archebu)

Cost: Yn rhad ac am ddim (wedi’i ariannu’n llawn)

☕ Rieni:
Croeso i chi aros, sgwrsio dros de a chacen, neu gasglu eich plentyn yn hwyrach – bydd ein gwirfoddolwyr hyfryd (a gwiriwyd yn llawn gan DBS) ar gael drwy gydol y sesiwn.

📩 I Archebu:
Os hoffech i’ch plentyn fynychu’r sesiwn hon – neu os ydych yn adnabod plentyn arall a allai elwa ohoni – cysylltwch â ni drwy:

Y Tîm 💛

Look 👀
at this beautiful message 🥰we have recieved from the amazing staff of Casllwchwr Primary school.
A school I was very lucky to teach violin at for 20 years. All 3 of my children were born during my years of teaching here, plus Nicky and Beth came to help me out with concerts too. Nicky on drums, Beth on violin. Every single pupil was such a pleasure to teach and there was ALWAYS a warm welcome from the amazing team of staff. Although I left around 9 years ago now, they still keep in touch and support us both as a family and charity. We are forever grateful🙏🏻.
Diolch i’r ysgol Casllwchwr.
Thank you so very much
🧡🧡🧡🧡
They’ve raised an incredible

£1000 !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

“On Saturday 12th of June Casllwchwr Primary School staff walked along the Wales Coastal Path from Borfa House in Port-Eynon back to school in Loughor. It was roughly 30 miles. It was a hard walk as it was up and down over the cliffs, but, beautiful scenery certainly helped when a few of us took a wrong turn on the marsh!! We had a fabulous day and we chatted about Nicky and Caroline as we walked.
We took on this challenge as the 4N;cky charity is very close to our hearts in Casllwchwr. We hope the money we have raised will help Caroline and the foundation help more families and young people who find themselves in this devastating situation.”

#challengeroth2025

Good luck to everyone taking on Challenge Roth 2025 — especially those we know personally from Swansea Vale Tri 💖💛💙and @GJEnduranceCoaching 🩵, who have all been a huge support to us both as a family and charity. Any others local clubs racing please send us your photo 🙏🏻. We’ll be tracking you.

Taking on a test of endurance like this takes months of focused, dedicated training. By stepping up, you’re not just chasing a goal — you’re inspiring others to get moving too.

People are gaining the confidence to lace up their shoes and give running a shot. Then before they know it — there’s a start line, a race, a medal.

The mental health benefits of exercise are real and powerful. It’s a natural prescription for well-being that more people need.

Huge respect to everyone who’s made it to the start line — and a special thanks to those who’ve inspired others to begin their own journey.

Go get that medal. Soak in every second. And remember: we can all get through a dark moment. 😉

And keep an eye for ian Ian Lloyd — he does so much for the charity and will be repping his 4N;cky gear with pride! 🦊🧡

Here it is, the post we’ve been looking forward to 🧡🧡🧡🧡.
Thank you so much boys @thestraypursuit
They’ve just totally owned the stage at The Isle Of White festival.
This is going to be a special night. We have some possible 2 minute slots for anyone who wishes to say anything- a memory of Nicky, or your own personal experience with mental health. If you’d like to say a few words please DM us via Facebook messenger asap. Please share this and let’s make it a night to remember 🙏🏻 From the boys, “July 18th, we are bringing a “Swansea’s own” lineup in memory of our brother Nicky 🧡”

“All of the ticket proceeds will be going to The #4N;cky Foundation with a night of Swansea’s finest performing. You are not going to want to miss this! “

“Get your tickets in early, we might have something special lined up for you all 🫡”

Today is Father’s Day 🙏🏻

For many, it’s a day of celebration.
For others, like me, it’s a day heavy with grief.

I miss my Dad beyond words. He was my rock, my hero—and without a doubt, Nicky’s entire world. Losing him so suddenly, just two days before his 60th birthday, left a hole nothing can fill. The day I had to tell Nicky that his beloved Bampa was gone… I watched his world crumble.

And then there’s Nicky.
My beautiful boy.
He never got the chance to become a Dad himself—but I know with all my heart, he would have been an incredible one. Just like mine.

So today, on Father’s Day, we are thinking of all those who find this day a little heavier.

To those missing their Dads.
To the Dads missing their children.
To those who never got to be called “Dad.”
To anyone whose heart aches today—
Be gentle with yourselves.

With love,
Caroline
And all of us at the 4N;cky Foundation

🧡MEN’S HEALTH WEEK | 9–15 JUNE 2025

There’s still a stigma around men’s mental health—and it’s costing lives.
40% of men don’t talk to anyone about what they’re going through. No friends. No family. Just silence.

It’s time that changed.

Talking saves lives. Whether it’s a mate, a professional, or even just checking in with yourself—starting the conversation matters.

This Men’s Health Week, we’re focusing on Enabling Better Health for Men and Boys Through Lifestyle. That means:

✅ Moving your body
✅ Eating well
✅ Managing stress
✅ Sleeping enough
✅ Ditching the bad habits

We will be positioned at the SECRET beach bar feed station for the duration of the race.
Always remember :#ItsGoodToTalk #TomorrowIsWaiting#theWorldNeedsYouYou are loved more than you could ever know. You just may not realise it. Good luck to our amazing runners and to every single person getting to that start line. Running is such a special tonic for both our physical and mental well-being. Be proud of yourselves. When it gets tough, pop a smile on, I promise it helps. Enjoy the support. Feel like a hero! But more than anything, realise how lucky you are to get to that start line. There are so many who can’t get to the start line for so many reasons. Nicky would love to have done this. So think of him, think of them, and embrace every step of the 13.1 miles. Be proud 😊 Be strong 💪🏻 Be you 🧡

They have also match funded, and every penny raised from the 3peaks and generously supported our Charity Ball, helping us continue our mission to support young people and families affected by mental health struggles and loss. 💫

Your dedication, resilience, and compassion inspire us, and we are truly grateful for everything you’ve done to honour Nicky’s legacy and uplift our community. 🙏

Men’s Mental Health Walk & Talk – With a Cuppa and Cake
📍 Pavilion Café, Coed Gwilym Park, Clydach
🤝 In collaboration with Swansea Vale Triathlon @swanseavaletri 💖💛💙🧡

It’s so important for men to come together, feel safe, and be able to open up about any worries, thoughts, or challenges they’re facing.
Mental health and well-being are vital.

🖤 Suicide is the biggest killer of people under 35 — and the biggest killer of men under 50.
We have to look after each other. We have to talk. We have to end the stigma.

We tragically lost our beautiful son, Nicky Christmas ‘22. He was just 20 with so much to look forward to.
We don’t want any other family to go through what we are going through, and we don’t want any more lives lost.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a Men’s Mental Health Walk & Talk, followed by a cuppa and cake. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure safe space for men to connect, listen, and support each other — whether you’re feeling a bit crap or on top of the world.

Let’s spread the message: It’s good to talk.
Let’s take care of each other.

We have a mental health professional also attending.

Check the poster for full details – and bring a mate.
You’re not alone. 💬☕🍰

13/6/25. Another session for our bereaved families. Looking after the mental health of our young people who’s lives have been rocked by the trauma of losing someone so special. It’s so important to talk about grief. To learn to understand it, and realise that it exists because there was so much love. 13th June, 4.15-5.15 followed by time to chat with a cuppa and cake or time at the park if the weather is on our side.
Rachel is a wonderful human with so much enthusiasm and YEARS of experience teaching music. She has a massive YouTube channel and we are honoured that she is holding a uke session for our children and families. Please e mail us or message via facebook to book your place as we need to know numbers for the ukuleles. Parent and child participation !!!!!

The4nickyfoundation@outlook.com

What have we been up to ?

We’ve got so much to say but struggle to find the time to share everything.
A few weeks back we held our first children’s creative session followed by a drumming session with families. Seeing the children interact, connect and talk about the special people that they have tragically lost, was so sad yet very heart warming.

One young boy wrote the most beautiful messages on his craft work and was openly talking about his Dad who has died. This in turn encouraged the others to open up too. In a situation that we wish didn’t need to exist, we found ourselves in a truly magical moment.

Our next session is on 13/6/25, and we have an amazing lady coming in to do a ukulele session with us for the first hour followed by cake, cuppa and chat for the next hour ( there will be volunteers on hand to entertain the children if you want time to chat with other adults). This will be advertised with more detail soon. Please e mail or message us to confirm so we have the right number of ukes( and cake! ) and volunteers available.

The feedback from this session was yet again so heart warming. Our own youngest attended, who is really struggling at the moment, and she absolutely loved it!

Then there was the incredible sound bath last week. The feed back has been such a lift. Hearing how this session has helped with some calmness and better sleep as well
As well as the chance the chat with others after.

This is all possible because of you ! All of the fundraising and support for our charity. Your charity. This is just the beginning.

Let’s keep shouting from the rooftops.
Get people talking about mental health.

Let’s end the stigma and stop brushing things under the carpet.
Let’s talk about grief, let’s talk about mental health, let’s talk about if we are feeling deep thoughts including suicidal thoughts.

If someone has a breakdown, don’t walk away, don’t leave them crumble alone, be there for them. Talk them through it. Help them to get the help they need. Sometimes, just sitting there in peace is all you need to do. Help them through those dark moments.

Always remember, You are not alone!

What a very special evening. Diolch Debbie @ Yoga Junkie.
A unique sound bath for families who have tragically lost a child or young person in the family.
Supporting the mental health and well being for bereaved familes. Because grief must be addressed, it must be talked about, and we need to understand and learn how to carry grief into our new lives. Intense grief exits because there was so much love.

Thank you to everyone who attended our first session. We really hope you found a moment of peace 🙏🏻.

We will definitely be booking monthly sessions.

Such a special evening.
🧡🧡🧡🧡

No hammock photos but some post hammock sound experiments 💖🥰

16/5/25 6.45-7.30 Men’s drop in centre. Clydach canal centre. Address on the pic. A safe space, a cuppa, cake. A chat, or just listen to others. We have a Mental health professional attending who truly understands the struggles both professionally and personally. Please share - it may reach someone desperate for some help and understanding 🧡🧡🧡🧡

We received a message this morning, from a young man who we know has had some mental health struggles. A talented and warm hearted soul.
This shows only too well how important it is to share share share. Giving people the confidence to pick up the phone if they need to.
These helplines are manned by people who’ve been trained so well. They have a calming approach while providing support and advice.

Together we are making a difference

“Your posts about mental health hotlines just helped me thank you for continuing to post about them as it helps knowing that stuff like that exist and that’s there’s always someone at the end of a phone if needed”.

Thank you *Anon, for messaging us. We will be keeping in touch with you🧡🧡🧡🧡

Amazing seeing these lovely ladies at the #carten2025 100 mike bike ride. Privileged to do the first half with them before heading home

Wishing Karly Gorman, Luisa Barnes, and Rachael Draisey the very best of luck as they take on the 100-mile Carten ride from Cardiff to Tenby!

🧡🧡Our charity ball 2025🧡🧡

So, what a night. The 5 months of preparation and sleepless nights certainly paid off.

You all looked incredible! 🎉

It was clear to see that everyone came together not only for a great night but for a very important cause - mental health - which can affect every single one of us.

Together we raised an incredible £8232.68. We honestly can’t believe the generosity and love we felt throughout the night🙏🏻🌟.

I’m sure you agree when I say that Ryan Jones MBE was outstanding, meaningful, empathic, hilarious and incredibly entertaining!

Thank you to all those who helped bring the night together. The raffle and auction prize collectors and donators, the room decorators, the individual table hosts for collecting all of your money and food choices.

Thank you to THE STRAY PURSUIT for entertaining us as people arrived, playing us through the emotional and very special reflection video, then got us all up to dance the night away.

As a team we are going to take 5 and gather up some energy after a very busy few months. We need some down time before our next set of events which include group sessions for various ages, organising the next charity race places and something special happening in July.

If you are struggling , please check out the helplines attached.
In the case of an emergency please call 999!

Always remember:
Tomorrow is waiting. You have so many memories yet to make. We can all get through the darker moments. Never be afraid to ask for help.

We will have our pro pics soon! Until then here are a few we had sent to us from guests. Feel free to add your own in the comments 🙏🏻🧡

Huge thanks to Simon and his colleagues at

‘Trading Standards Wales’

Last night we had the most wonderful knock on the door from a wonderful and inspiring young man. Owen, age 10!

He’s been making little novelty mini decoration hats. He was selling them at Christmas, and again now with an Easter theme.

He has raised an incredible £65 for The 4N;cky foundation 🌟🎉🥹

Thank you so much, Owen.

We are so very proud of you and very honoured to have you as a huge supporter to our charity.

💛💙💚🧡🩵🧡💜💖🌟

Today we dedicate to our 2wish family. The family that you never want to be a part of, but the family that saves us, that understands, that shares the pain and trauma of losing a child.

Each family we have met has their own tragic story of suddenly losing a son or daughter. That dreaded phone call, that knock on the door, the doctors telling you there was nothing more that they could do to save your precious child. Then your whole world literally tumbles down around you. Any parents absolute worst nightmare.

The stories are beyond heartbreaking, but the special bond is one like no other.

Today we want to thank 2wish for everything they do for families who have suddenly lost a child or young person in the family up to the age of 25.
We want to honour and remember every child and young person taken from us so unexpectedly and tragically, yet remembered so beautifully by this incredible charity.

It is only these people that truly understand the daily challenges, the trauma, the pain and confusion, the utter devastation.
We will always be huge supporters of the charity 2wish. One like no other. Without this charity, families with sudden child loss would have nothing, as the founder, Rhian, knew only too well.
Helen from 2 wish called us within 24 hours. Helen was at our home in days, she visited for months and months. She is now our friend.
Our 2wish family

Today is
dedicated to our Nicky,
forever 20 🧡

The best big brother to Beth and Ffion. Our beautiful boy. From his big brown warming eyes, Infectious smile, goofy laugh, crazy sense of humour, incredible drumming skills, to his love of the universe, mad dreams, and his sensitive, caring and beautiful soul.
He loved foxes, dominoes pizza, marvel movies, and his X box.
His band, ‘The Stray Pursuit’, his friends, and his family all meant the world to him.
He had his own struggles but was always checking in on others. Always there for them. That very last day we had the best conversations about his love for music, the plans for the band with an album and tour, family Christmas, and graduating from his engineering apprenticeship. There was so much to look forward to. Everything was falling into place. (Please read more in the comments x )

Today we dedicate to honouring Stef,
Forever 27💙

“Stef was such an absolute
GENTLEMAN, he would do anything for anyone and was well-LOVED. He had a heart of GOLD. We often still TALK about him in the office.

His favourite band was the Darkness. He idolised them and wouldn’t stop talking about how good they were. Everytime they come on the radio, I think of him.

In May 2018, after a normal day at work, he left the office and posted his final farewell on Facebook.

Nobody saw it coming.
We MISS you buddy.”

Marc ×

Thank you to Marc, Stef’s friend, and to Stef’s family for allowing us to honour him in our reflection. Keeping these precious memories alive is so important.

Please, whatever your day holds, let’s take time to think about Stef and his family and friends.
Missed forever, loved for eternity.

Today we remember Libby and Cornelius, sister and brother. 💖💙

❗️before reading, we must say that this post may be triggering to some as it is a very honest post about what happened❗️

We appreciate such honestly and believe it’s so important to realise the truth and what little help our young people have had when they’ve literally begged the professionals for help.

“Libby ran for Swansea Harriers when she was younger. She made the best carrot cakes! She was outspoken and forthright, so beautiful. She also did her Duke of Edinburgh Award, and LOVED sparkly trainers ✨.
She fell for someone who was so bad for her. One day, she threw herself under a bus and ended up in Cefn Coed for a week. She begged the consultant NOT to discharge her as she feared for her life, but he did. The bastard told her, ‘go and clean your house…a tidy house makes a tidy mind’.
In less than a week, she hung herself from a tree”.💔

“Cornelius was her brother. He got clean from drug use, and met a girl, got married and they had 3 beautiful boys. He was a gardener by trade 💚. His favourite flower was the cabbage rose 🥰.
One morning he felt really unwell. His wife called an ambulance but they said he was having a panic attack because of his past drug use.
He later collapsed and died from a cardiac arrest 😔.”
“Con was student of the year at Swansea college, he loved to cook. He teased me all the time and was an amazing dad.”

Pixie xxxx

Although Cornelius didn’t take his own life, his death is connected and related to mental health and to the fact that he did not get the help he deserved when he desperately needed it.

Libby Collins was born in 1987 and died in 2017, forever 30 💞

Cornelius Collins was born in 1986 and died in 2020, forever 33 💙

Please, whatever your day holds, let’s take precious time to think about Libby and Con, brother and sister. Forever young, forever missed, forever loved. 💖💙✨🙏🏻

Today we dedicate to Paul,
💙
Here is a message from Rhian:

“My beautiful Paul died in 2012, 5 days after our youngest son George. Paul, my husband and best friend, took his own life. We received no support after George died suddenly and were left to cope alone.

Paul was the most amazing man. He lit up every room he walked into! He was sports mad and loved a pint of Guinness. He was the best husband and father and our lives will never be the same without him.

Thank you xxxx”

Rhian, 2wish.

Rhian is the founder of 2wish, a charity that looked after us immediately after losing our Nicky, and still looks after us in our darkest days. Through Rhian’s tragedy from the devastating loss of her son George, and husband Paul just 5 days later, Rhian set up this charity to support families who suffer the sudden loss of a child or young person up to the age of 25. Because she didn’t want other families to be left to cope alone like theirs. Through Rhian’s unimaginable pain, she provides love, support and hope for others.
Please follow the 2 wish page to see all of the incredible work they do.

Please, whatever your day holds today, let’s think about Paul, his family and friends, and all those taken by suicide. With special thoughts for beautiful little George💙.

Missed forever, Loved for eternity 💙💙

Today we dedicate to beautiful Beth, forever 17💖 🎶
Here’s a message from
Beth’s mum,

“I’m Helen Palmer, Mike’s (3 Dads Walking) wife and Beth’s Mum. I was reading about Nicky and his band. Beth was also a musician and singer and had just signed her first record deal before she left us. The record company actually released her first single, Pixel Screens, to raise money for Papyrus. It breaks my heart that our beautiful, talented and precious children felt they had to leave this World. Somehow we manage to carry on and take their names forward with us ensuring that their legacy is hope.
Beth Palmer, 17.
Thank you so much for including our beautiful Beth.”

As Helen mentioned, Beth’s dad- Mike, is one of the 3 Dads Walking, who work closely with PAPYRUS, raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention initiatives.
Please follow 3 Dads Walking to see the incredible work they do, as well as the fantastic charity Papyrus.

Please, whatever your day holds today, let’s think about beautiful Beth, her family and friends, and all those taken too soon.

Missed forever, Loved for eternity 💖

We dedicate today to honouring and remembering Lee, forever 19💙.

Here is a message from Pixie after seeing our reflection video, the most wonderful lady who looked after Lee from the age of 10, and has been planting flowers each day since starting our daily dedications, to honour each individual- because we will remember them all, forever 🙏🏻.

“I Can’t stop the tears. I hid the photos and built my barrier. I needed this. Thank you. And thank you for including him. Sadly his mum had many problems, so he mostly lived with us. I remember finding him hiding under my son’s bed one Christmas morning because she and her boyfriend were fighting in the night on Xmas eve. He thought I would send him home! of course I didn’t, we shared out the presents and had a fab Xmas day, I can see him now laughing with a cracker hat on. He never went home after that. He was 10 then.
He had his own flat at 17 and met a girl, had a beautiful daughter. She moved away and he was so upset. But this…this waste of his life…it doesnt make sense. I don’t f****** understand it. For the first few years I made myself believe he’d run away somewhere, kept catching glimpses of him in streets and windows. I’d call him but the person would turn and it was never Lee. Lee has really gone, he willl always be 19 and it’s not fair, it’s not fair 😭 x x x
I just want one more hug.
What would he be doing now I wonder, if he were still here? X”

“Oh god my heart, my heart…. my beautiful Lee. I loved him so much. He had a wicked sense of humour and was amazing at climbing trees. He worked in a car wash and was going to college to become a mechanic.
I miss him so very much x x x”

Please, can we all think of Lee today, and all those special people in Lee’s life, along with all those taken too soon🙏🏻💙

Today is dedicated to
Ashton, forever 20
❤️🧡💙

“Ashton would be the last person you’d think to give up on life. What ever sport he turned to seemed to so natural. He was competitive and for a young man he was so loyal and loving, and the best friend to people. Ashton was always cheering people up, literally right up until the last minute. The baby in the photo is his daughter, his two eyes. You never saw him without her x

Thank you to Ashton’s family for giving us the privilege to honour your beautiful boy.

Please, whatever your day holds today, can we think of Ashton and his family and friends, as well as all those taken too soon from this world.

Remembered forever, loved for eternity.

How romantic is this
The Barrow’s ran the Paris Marathon together 💖💖💖💖.

Every mile side by side. Both have suffered injuries leading up to the big day which is soul destroying after the months and months of training towards a marathon!
But:
They both got to the start line and of-course they smashed it and made it to the finish to pick up that well deserved medal🎉.

Jo, we know there was a lot of pain along the way for more reasons than one, yet you powered on like a true warrior! In Jo’s words , “ it was gross “. 🥹😩🫣😂sorry but that made me chuckle a little !

A massage from Jo, “It was an absolute honour and privilege to run in the 4N;cky top around the streets of Paris. Supporting our friends and the 4N;cky charity is super important to us . Tomorrow is waiting xxx”

Jo ran through the streets of Paris repping our 4N;cky vest #Running4Nicky #running4mentalhealth #running4suicideprevention raising awareness and funds for our charity.

Nicky talked about travelling on that very last day, so seeing his name travelling through the streets of Paris is so special. Keeping his memory alive while helping others.

Jo has raised an incredible £258 which will be an incredible help with our forthcoming sessions for those in the community struggling with trauma and mental health issues.

It’s because of people like this that we have been able to put some firm plans in place. Together we are making a difference.

Check out the mile after mile selfies below💖
Huge well done both.

Today we honour and remember 2 special friends of Jordan, from the Bunkhouse live music venue, Swansea.

🧡Jack and Holly🧡

I approached Jordan about a memorial gig night in Nicky’s memory, to which Jordan gave the most emotional, sincere and heartfelt response.
It came to light that mental health and suicide prevention is a cause so very close to Jordan’s heart. Jordan devastatingly lost his best friends, jack in 2013, and Holly in 2019.
Here are a few words from Jordan.

“Jack, my best friends favourite song, Sunday Morning Call- Oasis.

Holly’s favourite song, house Arcade Fire - The Suburbs.

Kills me everytime! A hole in my heart that was never replaced💔”

Jordan, The Bunkhouse.

Jordan is helping us host the memorial gig in July at his venue, the Bunkhouse. A venue that Nicky loved, and it holds so many memories for us as a family.
Jordan is very generously donating all door proceeds to our charity. This will be in memory of all those taken by suicide, and will provide so much help to those struggling.

Please, whatever your day holds today, can we think of Jack and Holly and their
Families and friends, as well as all those taken too soon from this world.

Today we honour and remember Carl Creswell.
❤️ 🖤

Here’s a message we recieved about Carl,

“Carl was a coach in Celtic Tri. The most intelligent, knowledgeable but approachable man. A gentle giant.

During his years coaching he inspired countless adults & juniors to achieve their full potential. He was the chief technical knowledge Guru, and was affectionately known as Stata

Carl completed Iron Man Wales in 2015 with grit, determination & perfect planning. He never gave up & even swam 2.4 miles breaststroke!

Carl sadly died in 2022 by suicide. He’ll always be missed & remembered.

I’d love to have one more conversation with him. 💔”

Thank you to Darren Heath and Carl’s family for allowing us honour and remember Carl in our reflection.
❤️ 🖤

Please, whatever your day holds today, can we think of Carl and his family and friends, as well as all those taken too soon from this world.

Remembered forever, loved for eternity.
