Our daughter, Poppy, is a beautiful, talented, and kind soul whose light continues to shine in all that we do.

A gifted fashion student at the prestigious London College of Fashion, her creativity and spirit remain a constant source of inspiration. Her light changed our world forever: for us, her brother Ollie, her sisters Faith, Heidi and Florence, and it continues to guide us.

Our story

Poppy’s Light Foundation was founded in Poppy’s honour, with the hope of turning heartbreak into something that could help others. Since August 2024, with the kindness of our supporters, the charity has raised over £130,000 to provide vital services for children, young people, and families.

At Poppy’s Light Foundation, we are determined to raise the profile and understanding of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) and inherited cardiac conditions. With compassion, determination, and the support of specialist teams, generous donors, and dedicated partners, we believe lasting change is possible.
