About this page

This page has been set up in memory of our lovely Conor by his Mam and Dad, sister and brothers. With your help, we'd like to raise money for charity in memory of our beloved son and brother. 

To begin with, we are just asking for gifts in memory of Con, hoping to add to the donations generously collected at his funeral. This money will be donated to Save The Children in the hope that children at home and abroad can have a better life.

We welcome gifts from anyone who would like to honour Conor in this way.

About our future fundraising

In time, we hope to focus our efforts on specific fundraising activities that may coincide with special times such as his birthday and chime with his many interests including drama, music, literature and the countryside. We will also support additional charities including: 

·     St Cuthberts Care – A charity working throughout the North East focusing on residential care for children, short-term and long-term fostering, specialist provision for people with profound disabilities and care for older people.

·     Cafod – A Catholic aid charity who work with partners across the world, wherever the need is greatest, to bring hope, compassion and solidarity to poor communities. They work with people of all faiths and none.

·       Headway – The charity that works to improve life after brain injury. They provide information, support and services to people affected by brain injury, their family and carers.

Family and friends are warmly welcome to set up their own fundraising pages for future sponsored events and link to Conor’s remembrance page. http://www.justgiving.com/remember/95572/Conor%20Michael%20Francis-Robinson

We hope to fundraise on a long-term basis and hope that you may be able to support us from time to time.  But above all, we are enormously grateful for all the love and support given to us by family and friends of Conor. Thank you for everything.
