This assemble was hard hitting and though provoking. The delivery was honest, clear and heartfelt. The topic is something what has been overlooked in the past but needs to be covered more often. The students listened and were engaged though out. I hope they listen to the advice and can keep themselves safer online moving forward.

Head of Year

 

As one of the year nine students who attended the assembly yesterday. I think that you got your message across really well and the fact you explained your situation could help us to understand more. Whilst I don’t know how losing a child feels, I know what it is like to lose someone and your charity, in my opinion, will help many from this pain. I would say that your charity as it continues will help many people.

Student

 

In the year 9 assembly yesterday, your recall of accounts with your son and what your charity stands to do will impact all of the students here at RBA. So many students could relate to the love of gaming like your son did, but may have not been aware of the predators that lurk within the online games, and you both speaking to the Year 9 students yesterday has made them deeply think about their choices and how vulnerable they can be. I am so sorry for what has happened to your son. The legacy you are providing by helping to protect other children who could be in the same situation is so powerful. Thank you for empowering our students with knowledge about online safety.

A LESSON FOR ALL...

April 2024

This year, we spoke to the children at Barnet and Southgate College, East Barnet School, Southgate School and Sherrardswood School in Welwyn across years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12.

We used our time with them to explain the importance of online safety and why they must speak up if they are threatened.

Thank you to all the children and teachers for giving us this opportunity to share our personal experience, which we hope has encouraged more caution and awareness when online.

Our story is not just for children, but we believe parents, carers and those working with children can also benefit from listening to what we have to say.

If you are interested in our story for your educational institution, please contact us.

TESTIMONIAL

My son and I had the pleasure of meeting the Christoforos Charity Foundation on 2nd July. My son who is 12 read the pamphlet with interest and shock. He asked different questions throughout the day as cyber bullying was something he had heard of but wasn’t aware how bad it can get and the effect it can have on a person and family. By coincidence, the next day at school the class was tasked with writing about cyber bullying and my son wrote about CCF to explain what he had learned. I think spreading knowledge to the younger generation on the threats the internet brings is very important especially as a parent and I commend the Foundation for the work they do. Parent from Omonia Youth FC.

St Mary’s School vows to keep Christophers memory alive

Tuesday, 23 May 2023

Our beloved son Christopher was a much-loved and respected student at St Mary’s Church of England High School in Cheshunt.
Since we lost Christopher, the school, in particular Mr Simms (Head Teacher), his teachers and his closest friends have supported us and the charity to ensure that our message of protecting our children from online predators and social media misuse is conveyed across the school.

Recently we delivered a series of presentations to students in years 7-10 about our story. Many students were already aware and touched by the loss of our son.

Whilst it was an emotive experience for all of us, it gave the children an opportunity to ask questions and hear from us the reality of what happened and how we can prevent this from happening again to another child and family.

As part of our gratitude to the school and as a kick off to our mission of providing free activities to children, we took 19 of Christopher's friends to Hollywood Bowl for an evening of fun and furious competition. It was a great night!

 

Thank you Aldenham Senior School, Elstree

Thursday, 18 May 2023

On hearing about us from a student, Aldenham school contacted Christoforos Charity Foundation (CCF) asking to support the charity as part of their end of term fundraising. Whilst we were delighted that they chose us that term, the school went one step further with the headmaster, Mr Williams setting up a challenge to raise even more money. He laid down the gauntlet by offering to dress up as an Easter bunny if the parents hit a separate target. Never one to shy away from a challenge, the parents raised even more money and assembly was taken by the Easter bunny later that afternoon.

Following this wonderful support from Aldenham, we were also invited this month to attend a special presentation to share our experiences with the students at the school. The children were receptive and inquisitive, coming up to us afterwards to ask questions about the charity. This is an important way to drive our message of ‘Helping Save Lives’ to as many children, their parents or carers and teachers so that no family can ever experience this tragedy.

 

Cheshunt Rugby Club Supports CCF with Epic Game Off!

Sunday, 30 April 2023

 

Since we lost our son Christopher over a year ago, the Cheshunt Rugby Club, that he was an avid member of, has supported us in many ways to ensure that Christopher’s memory lives on. This year they introduced the Christoforos Nicolaou Cup, a sporting event involving 40 players from across the club in memory of our son.

The match, which kicked off following a minute silence at 11am, was attended by over 100 people who cheered and clapped their way through the epic game with some stunning performances from the players. The game ended on a real high with the winners awarded the Cup, followed by a raffle, auction and a bake sell to generate funds for Christoforos Charity Foundation, that aims to raise awareness around social media misuse, in particular cyber-bullying.

The players were treated to pizza following their hard work on the field and to thank them for supporting the Foundation by playing a game that Christopher loved.

On behalf of myself and CCF, I want to thank the organisers Nikki McGreevy and Ryan McGreevy including the efforts from the wonderful volunteers from the Cheshunt Rugby Club who helped make this now annual tournament, a tremendous success. They raised an amazing £1,300 that will go towards FREE activities for kids.

See how much fun they had at the recent paint-balling event, below.

We look forward to working with you all again soon, and the many more exciting matches to come!
