Abseiling Europa In memory of Oisín Byrne.

Christopher and Bridget Byrne is raising money for Little Forget Me Nots Trust
In memory of Oisín Byrne
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.
