Our Philosophy
At the Little Forget Me Nots Trust, we believe grief deserves space. A space to be honest and free from judgment.
We support families after the loss of a baby or child by creating safe places to talk, remember, and begin healing.
Our work is led by lived experience, guided by trauma-informed practice, and shaped by the people we walk beside.
We don’t rush. We don’t rescue. We walk with.
We encourage you to explore our range of trauma-informed support.
Check out our Just Be Pillars, each one designed to meet you where you are.
Because asking for help after goodbye should feel possible and holding space for loss should feel human.

Your first step starts with a cuppa.
Feeling unsure where to begin?
The Just Begin Café is a relaxed, welcoming space where you can book a one-to-one chat with one of our compassionate team.
Sessions last around an hour and are available both in person (our favourite!) or online... whatever suits you best.
These conversations are designed to meet you wherever you are in your grief journey.
Whether you're navigating early loss or months down the line, we’ll help you make sense of things and shape a care plan that feels right for you.
Sometimes, a quiet chat and a warm drink really can be the start of something healing.
Find your feet again, with others who understand.
Just Be Me is our 6-month support programme designed specifically for grieving parents.
Created by trauma-informed professionals and shaped by lived experience, it's a safe space to explore what grief looks like for you with others who get it.
The programme runs once a year, from April to September.
Enrolment for 2026 is now open.
Big-hearted events for little moments of connection.
If you're not quite ready for a programme or just want to be around people who get it our Just Be Socials are the perfect middle ground.
These special events are warm, welcoming, and full of moments to connect without pressure.
Every event is filled with people we trust to hold your story safely – and you’re welcome just as you are.

A space for grieving brothers and sisters.
Children grieve too even if they can't always say the words.
Just Be Sibling is a creative, child-friendly space for brothers and sisters to process the loss of their sibling in their own way.
We run these throughout the year, including special events around holidays and remembrance days.
A quiet space for grandparents carrying double heartbreak.
Grandparents often carry grief for two generations, for their grandchild, and for their own child who is grieving. Just Be Grand... parents offers a space where they can feel seen and supported too.
These informal sessions invite grandparents to connect with others who understand this layered pain. Whether you're ready to talk, listen, or simply be present, you're welcome here.
