Sadly our founder, Louise Taylor, lost her first born, Ruben, in the middle of her pregnancy. Struggling to find support after her loss, she turned to alternative ways to keep her mind focused and away from the heavy thoughts that come after a child loss.  The aims of the LFMNT is to grow the access to support services for bereaved families. We promote art therapy, either individual or group sessions. We want our families to develop coping mechanisms after their trauma. Each person or families will have a different approach but we at the LFMNT have established a relationship with other local bereaved mums and volunteers who want to help raise awareness and help deliver the aims of the Trust. Last year we developed relationships with Northern Irelands finest art therapists. They can see the vision for this charity and helped design a pilot project that engaged 10 bereaved families and 30 individuals to our alternative approach.  Our plan for 2022 is to work with another 10 bereaved families and provide them with art therapy sessions.   The support we are able to offer families can only grow if we continue to raise funds. Our hopes and dreams for the LFMNTs are huge, and we know we will achieve so much more over the next few years.  We are excited to be in a position to be working to help change Northern Ireland's lack of alternative practical support for bereaved parents.

Story

Founded in 2020 by Louise Taylor, during a time she was struggling to find the right support after her own loss. Louise turned to alternative ways to keep her mind focused and away from the heavy thoughts that come after a child loss. She found herself talking more while she discovered new hobbies and interests.

By following these new interests she has developed a following who understand how using our hands helps our minds and hearts process grief. Louise is using this strength as the foundation for the Little Forget Me Nots Trust and is beginning to build a new path for alternative support in Northern Ireland and beyond one day.

We want to connect you with alternative ways that may help you figure out techniques to overcome obstacles whenever you feel ready to face the world again and begin to live with grief.

We work closely with funeral directors who are unfortunately seeing a far too many pregnancy & infant losses which is making our purpose much more relevant to our community.

Our aims are to provide immediate support to a family who have just lost a child, which will then turn into transitional support and then we will follow this up with different ways to remember our loved ones.

Over the last 2 years we have been working hard to pilot projects, generate an income to fund running costs and now we are thankfully in the position to begin supporting you.
