Story
The Children’s Memorial Garden & Food Bank is a peaceful sanctuary created for remembrance, reflection, and quiet connection, a place where families can be with their child, say their name, and remember their love.
Set within the Buckinghamshire countryside (Longwick, Buckinghamshire), the garden exists to support anyone affected by the loss of a child or young person. Visitors often arrive carrying profound grief; our role is to care for this space gently and thoughtfully so it remains safe, welcoming, and comforting throughout the seasons.
The vision for the garden began with a simple but powerful recognition, that grieving families often need somewhere dedicated to memory, somewhere away from the noise of everyday life, where they can sit, breathe, and feel close to the child they carry with them.
Today, the garden continues to grow as a living space of compassion. Carefully tended planting, peaceful seating areas, and evolving features help create an environment that supports both reflection and healing.
Your donation helps us care not only for what visitors see, but also for the quieter work behind the scenes, maintaining the landscape, nurturing new life through planting, protecting habitats, and ensuring the garden can remain open and beautifully cared for year-round.
Some supporters choose to give a small amount each month to help the garden thrive year-round. Regular donations provide stability, allowing us to plan ahead and care for the space with consistency and thoughtfulness.
If you feel drawn to support the garden in this way, suggested monthly amounts include:
£5/month - Garden Supporter
Helps nurture the everyday care that keeps the garden peaceful and welcoming.
£10/month - Friend of the Garden
Supports ongoing planting, seasonal care, and the gentle upkeep families rely on.
£20/month - Legacy Friend
Helps protect the future of the garden, ensuring this special place remains here for every family who may need it.
There is no expectation - every contribution, whether monthly or one-off, is deeply appreciated and makes a meaningful difference.
We also work alongside trusted charities and community organisations so that families who visit can access specialist support where needed.
Every contribution helps protect this space for today, and for every family who may need it tomorrow.
Thank you for helping us keep the Children’s Memorial Garden growing.
