Corinne Bespolka decided to restore a derelict cottage after her teenage son died suddenly in 2003.
When Cameron Bespolka died in an avalanche in the Austrian Alps ten years ago he was just 16-years-old. To help deal with the grief his family decided to carry on his passion for wildlife. After several years of fundraising they have finally opened a residential retreat in the New Forest to help young people connect with nature.
She and her family - who are from Winchester, in Hampshire - set up the Cameron Bespolka Trust and started fundraising just after Cameron's death. "One of our ways of really dealing with a lot of grief that we went through - losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to you - is carrying on Cameron's passion," Mrs Bespolka said."When he got to 11 he realised that whenever he was outside, wherever he was, there were always birds, and it was that that attracted him," Mrs Bespolka explained.
