That the Parliament recognises the achievements of the charity Ben Bradford BB14; understands that the charity was started by Mike Bradford in the name of his son, Ben, after he died in his sleep aged 16, with no explanation as to why and with his death classed as a sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC); notes that Ben’s passion for football has defined the goals of the charity to advance wider participation of youth in sport activities, regardless of an individual's background or ability, through access to facilities and equipment, and to improve the mental health and wellbeing of local youth; further notes that the charity’s current project to improve the pitch where Ben played since he was five years for his club, Cove Youth United, is well underway, and wishes BB14 every success in supporting the youth of the Cove community.
