Child Bereavement UK supports families and educates professionals when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, or when a child is facing bereavement.

Red Sea Pedestrians is a group of business men and women raising money for charitable causes in Manchester.

Meanwhile, Shayne and Sophie – who played Lindsey Butterfield in Hollyoaks – have just wrapped filming on a new movie.

The parents of one-year-old daughter Willow have mixed business and pleasure by co-starring in upcoming thriller film Stairs, about a group of Special Ops forces stuck in a “never-ending stairwell” after being sent to a warzone to receive important information.

A summary on IMDB says: ” The unit soon find themselves trapped on a never-ending stairwell forced to climb or die. To survive, they must revisit their past sins if they ever want to get off.”

Intriguing!
