Fiona Devine MBE to Speak at Firm's Event to Celebrate International Women's Day

In March, Blandy & Blandy will welcome Fiona Devine MBE, CEO and Founder of Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service, as a special guest speaker at an event to celebrate International Women's Day.

Fiona's talk is titled 'An Extraordinary Little Boy' and she explains: “A mother’s love does not end when her child’s life does. It becomes something quieter, deeper, and fiercely unbreakable. I stand here today not because my heart is whole, but because even in loss, women find a way to lift others. My story is one of grief, but also of resilience, and of the power we hold when we turn our pain into purpose.”

Fiona added: “We are incredibly grateful to Blandy & Blandy for choosing Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service as a charity partner and for their ongoing support, including providing me with this platform to share my story and continue Alexander's beautiful legacy. Their generosity and fundraising efforts make a real difference in helping us continue to provide specialist care and support to local children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families.”

Blandy & Blandy’s chair and partner, Claire Dyer, said: “We are very privileged to be welcoming Fiona Devine to share her deeply moving and inspiring personal story with us.

Blandy & Blandy is proud to continue to support Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, an incredible charity supporting young people and their families in our local communities. We look forward to celebrating the collective achievements of women in business this International Women’s Day.”
