Forget-Me-Not Memorial Service 2023
On October 14th 2023, we held our annual Forget-Me-Not memorial Service at Pitsea Crematorium. Everyone was welcome to join us, including all friends, family and children. Each year will have volunteers, in which you are welcome to contact us, if you would like to read a poem, say a reading and or suggest memorable songs to be played. The Dove Release was held in the garden after the service which is always incredibly heart felt to see these wonderful doves released back home.
It was a genuinely beautiful day although we grieve our babies, the support from all that attend creates a wave of love and hope.
We would like to thank you all for your continuous support through messages, awareness and donations, as it is this that allows us to continue to hold these events and provide as many resources as possible to those in need.

New Family Support Room at Basildon Hospital
In addition to the baby bereavement suite which is currently at Basildon Hospital, there will now also be a new private support room available to grieving families. Thanks to the continuous support and donations, this new support room will be a comfortable space, consisting of a nice seating area and coffee-making facilities, where those affected by baby loss can seek advice and get long-awaited results from midwives and the bereavement team.
Charity Curry Night Success
Our charity curry night was a huge success. Hayley Kelly, who helped to organise the event, said: 'Over 100 people came together to eat, drink and party the night away- and what an amazing night was had by all! We have collectively raised a staggering £2735 which will be going to the Forget-Me-Not Baby Loss Support Group for their next project of a support room at Basildon Hospital. We can't thank Adam and his team at Basil Spice Restaurant enough. Thank-you for all your amazing support, donations and love.'
