The family of Southport girl Bebe King have paid tribute to much-loved six-year-old who is inspiring the creation of Bebe’s Hive.
They said: “To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn’t know we had.”
Bebe’s Hive CIC will support grieving children through creative, child-led healing.
Fundraising is taking place at the moment, with people able to support this amazing charity here: Home | Child Grief Support | Bebe’s Hive CIC
