"She would have wanted to have a legacy of love, positivity and good will. "I know that if this had happened to any of us, Natalie would be at the forefront advocating for change and fighting for a stop to violence against women, so that's what we're going to try and do in her memory. "The brunch event has a number of features planned and the family have said it will be the first event among others throughout the year that will focus on creating a lasting legacy for Natalie. "Our aim is to do good in her memory, we want her name to be out there and for people to remember the good things we're doing since she passed away," said Hollie. "The brunch is to bring women together in a safe space, to spend time in good company and remember Natalie for the wonderful, beautiful inspiring lady that she really was. "All while doing this we'll be raising money for Women's Aid, which is a charity which has been chosen by Noel and Bernie and the three boys ( Natalie's parents and three brothers. ). "Hollie said that while the brunch was a chance to bring people together, there would be practical help there for women as well. "We've arranged guest speakers, we're going to have live music and we're going to have a self-defence demonstration," she added.
