Gemma Redford, in memory fundraiser at Forget Me Not said:
“At Christmas, it’s lovely to share special moments with family and friends, but for many of us it’s also a time when we feel the absence of a loved one. This is always a very poignant time of year at Russell House and our staff are on duty throughout the festive season.”

“This Christmas, we’re inviting people to shine a little light in memory of someone dear to them by making a donation in their name. It’s a chance to keep their light shining and help us support families to make the most of every moment they have together, creating precious memories that will last a lifetime.”


Donors will also be able to leave a dedication message in honour of their loved one on Forget Me Not’s memory webpage www.forgetmenotchild.co.uk/shine-a-little-light. The charity will also place dedications inside baubles to hang on their Christmas tree at Russell House.

Gemma said:
“People will be able to see the baubles on the Christmas tree at our Christmas Fayre this Sunday (24th November 12pm-3pm) when we’ll be getting festive with stalls full of handcrafted gifts, food, activities and of course Santa will be in residence in his grotto with his elves!”
