A BEREAVED couple will mark what would have been their son's first birthday with a coffee money raising funds in his memory.

Russell and Lisa Ventura have organised the coffee morning at Bindles Brassiere, Sidbury, on Saturday (November 29) which help raise money for Frankie’s Legacy.

The couple’s son Francesco “Frankie” Enrico Ventura was born sleeping on November 29th 2013 at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital, and they have since founded the small charity Frankie’s Legacy.

Mrs Ventura said: “We wanted to do something relatively low key to mark what would be Frankie’s first birthday and we thought a coffee morning would be perfect.

"It will be a great chance for all our family, friends, sponsors and supporters to get together and for us to say a huge thank you to them for all their support since we launched as a charity."

Entry is free but donations are welcome with all proceeds going to Frankie’s Legacy.

Anyone who would like a candle lit at the event should email hello@frankieslegacy.org.uk.
