A 10-year-old girl who keeps her late sister’s story alive by sharing it with her fellow drama school students has won an award.

Isabella Field’s eight-year-old sister Molly died at home in Woodford Green in September 2010 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour six months earlier.

Isabella, of Darnley Road, won an award for her dedication, commitment, and compassion within the community at RAW Academy’s 13th anniversary award ceremony last Saturday.

The ceremony took place at Forest School in College Place, Walthamstow.

It was organised by RAW’s co-founder Samantha Edmonton in aid of Haven House Children's Hospice, where Isabella and her family went the day after Molly died.

Over 300 young people and their parents attended the event, which included a group performance by RAW students.

Isabella’s mother Mel, 43, said: “The link between RAW and Haven House is so strong now that we have a whole new generation of RAW students who will go on to raise money for the hospice.

“One of the last things Molly did, despite not being able to walk or see properly, was a RAW summer school, so I’m so pleased her legacy with them has continued.”

Following her daughter’s death, Mel and her husband Steve raised £100,000 for Haven House, in High Road, Woodford Green.

Last weekend’s award ceremony raised a further £3,500 for the hospice.

Samantha Edmonton said: “Isabella is fantastic, she is never afraid to share her sister’s story.

“Molly was just the most amazing, adorable soul, so being able to keep her memory alive through the strong partnership that has grown between RAW and Haven House over the last five years is great.”

The Molly Field award, which is given to recognise students’ achievements at the academy, was presented to 11-year-old Naomi Lundie-Smith and 16-year-old Katie Goodhew.

Haven House’s chief executive, Mike Palfreman, said: “We would like to congratulate everyone at RAW Academy for raising an impressive amount for Haven House.

“It’s always great to see young people in our community supporting local life-limited children and their families.”
