About Us

The People Behind the Little Forget Me Nots Trust

The Little Forget Me Nots Trust is led by people who understand that grief is personal, community matters, and real support takes time.

We are a small but deeply committed team of parents, professionals, creatives, and community builders who share a single goal: to make it easier for families to ask for help after the loss of a baby or child.

Our work is guided by lived experience, trauma-informed care, and the belief that healing happens in safe, honest spaces.

🧡 Our Board

Our voluntary board offers strategic guidance, oversight, and heart-led leadership:

• Nuala Toman – Chair

• Louise Taylor – Managing Director

• Mary McAlinden & Shauna Lyness – Treasurers

• Lindsay McKenna – Secretary

• Arlene Robinson – Strategic Director (Budgeting, Forecasting & Finance)

Together, they bring experience from community development, mental health, family support, business, and bereavement care.
