We need you

No one ever wants to have to use a children’s hospice. But NOT having access to an excellent hospice, if you ever needed one, would be far worse.

What we do changes lives: it’s that simple. So for the sake of the children and families we care for, please help us to keep doing it.

Ways to support us

Everyone’s different, so we’ve come up with all sorts of ways to help us raise essential funds. Click through for ideas about what you could do, or how to join in with what’s already going on.

Theo's story

After trying for a baby for some time, Stacy and Stefan had come to accept that “it would just be the three of us,” with Stacy’s son Raymond. Then Stacy became pregnant with Theo. Very sadly though, Theo died shortly after birth. The family spent a few days with him in our Snowflake Suite. “We feel really lucky that we got to hold him.”

Taniesha's story

Diagnosed with a congenital heart condition before birth, Taniesha also has Downs Syndrome and has undergone a number of serious operations. She tires easily and can’t do as much as other children. Despite it all, “she’s full of life and loves dancing and music!”

Jacob's story

When Jacob was 8 he was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy and mum Jackie became his full-time carer. When the family was told his condition was life-shortening in 2017, we got involved. “Forget Me Not could see I was more like a nurse and carer than I was a mum. They allowed me to be a mum again.”

Henry's story

Henry is six and has spent most of his young life in and out of hospital and has a number of complex health issues. Henry’s family was referred to Forget Me Not when he was two. “We were really at breaking point so the hospice was a massive lifeline – somewhere Henry would be safe.”

Short of time?

Not everyone has the puff to run, the panache for a onesie, or the patience for baking.
