About

Ceri Menai-Davis is the founder of the charity It's Never You, established in memory of his six-year-old son, Hugh Menai-Davis. Hugh passed away in 2021 after a year-long battle with a rare form of cancer. Ceri Menai-Davis has become a prominent advocate for bereaved parents and families caring for seriously ill children. His current newsworthiness stems from the "Hugh's Law" proposals being considered by the government. This proposed legislation aims to provide financial support and job protections for parents who become full-time carers for their seriously ill children. The "Hugh's Law" initiative is directly inspired by the experiences of the Menai-Davis family and Ceri's ongoing efforts to improve support systems for others facing similar tragedies. The charity It's Never You recently organized a display in Parliament Square, laying out hundreds of children's shoes to urge the government for better support for bereaved parents, highlighting the ongoing relevance of Ceri's advocacy.
