Craig, Nabela & Serena

Joining us on the day with their wider family

A day for family — all are welcome

Following the incredible response to our recent updates on Craig, Nabela and Serena, we're delighted to host GPG's Family Day — an afternoon for colleagues, their partners and children to come together in support of Craig and his family.

Craig, Nabela, Serena and members of their wider family will be joining us on the day. Together we'll continue raising awareness of brain tumours and help raise further funds for Craig's ongoing campaign.

If you're a grandparent, auntie, or uncle, we'd love you to join us. This is a day for family, and everyone is welcome.

A special book for Craig and his family

We're creating a special book filled with messages, memories and photographs for Craig, Nabela and Serena. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed — the response has been incredibly moving.

There's still time to share yours. Send photographs, memories and messages to people.team@ngpltd.co.uk, or drop by The Hangout during breaktimes on Friday 17 July — members of the People Team will be there to take your contribution in person.

The completed book will be presented to Craig during GPG's Family Day as a lasting reminder of the friendships, kindness and support that surrounds him.

Volunteer on the day

We'll need volunteers to help keep our fundraising totals up to date, assist with the raffle and provide general support throughout the event. If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to hear from you.
