Amelia Lily, 911 and more to support James Bulger Charity Ball

The trust was set up in James’s name and aims to help those who have been victims of crime, bereavement or bullying by offering cost free travel, holiday accommodation and support.

This years ball is the charities 5th and marks what would have been James’s 28th birthday. It also coincides with the release of his mum Denise’s book ‘I Let Him Go’ which tells the heartbreaking story of a mother who said goodbye to a son, far too soon.
