Donate in memory

Sharing special moments with family and friends is what Christmas is all about. But many of us will also be feeling the absence of a loved one.

This Christmas, we’re inviting you to shine a little light in memory of someone dear to you. By making a donation in their name, you’ll not only keep their light shining, you’ll also help us support families to make the most of every moment they have together, creating precious memories that will last a lifetime.

Life would have been even harder if we hadn’t had Forget Me Not. It’s so mentally draining, all the stuff going round in your head. The knowledge that the team have there, it took the strain off. That was a massive help.
