Nicky Goodall is raising money for Little Forget Me Nots Trust
In memory of Dympna Goodall
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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

This September Dympna’s cousin Ryan and myself are going to be running the Belfast Half Marathon in Dympna’s memory and raising funds for the Little Forget Me Not Trust. 

I have been a very big believer in not running unless I am being chased by something and that any journey over 2 miles is why cars were invented so it’s a going to be a challenge but such a worthwhile one. 

The charity is one that Dympna was raising money for last October by doing 10,000 steps a day. It was for a cause that was very important for her and that does great work supporting bereaved parents after a child loss.
