In aid of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice
Help celebrate their 10 year anniversary
Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice has been massively hit by the
pandemic and we need your help to make this event a big success
in raising as much money possible for such a wonderful cause.
The organisation is here for families confronted with the news
that their child has a life-shortening condition – from as early
as pregnancy onwards. This can be through offering respite,
hydrotherapy, music therapy, counselling or bereavement support.
Let’s show them some love
