Memory Boxes

We provide memory boxes to many settings including acute hospitals and hospices to help them better support children following the death of a parent or sibling. They are available in three age ranges.

Important Update

We have recently moved to a “level system” which reflects on our funds as a charity.

As funds continue to increase/decrease our level will change meaning the organisations we supply will change.

Please help us fund our resources to ensure we don’t have to move to a level where we stop supplying resources to your organisation.

Ordering Memory Boxes

In order for us to manage the increase in demand for our memory boxes we have introduced an application process.

You must apply using the form below for support from our charity, your application will then be reviewed by a panel of Trustees within 7 days of submitting.

If we can supply your organisation with boxes you will be granted access to our memory box order form, you will be able to access the form using the button to the right and entering the password given to you following successful application.

Can we help you?

We are currently working with professionals in many settings including hospitals, hospices and schools across England. If you are working with bereaved children and think we may be able to help you, either with providing memory boxes or funding for training in supporting bereaved children then please get in touch.

We are always looking for other ways that professionals can better support bereaved children. If you have any other ideas we are more than happy to hear them.
