Please support our special Daisy Appeal 2026 and help us support others who have been bereaved by dedicating a beautiful handmade wooden daisy or metal daisy in memory of a loved one.

You can make a donation for your daisy which will included in our Meadow of Memories in St Mary's Remembrance Gardens and then take it after the event to enjoy in your home or garden, or even give to someone special as the perfect gift. 

The event is free to visit and is everyone is welcome, you don't need to have accessed support from the Children's Bereavement Centre to attend. We are aiming to create a calm peaceful environment, giving families the opportunity to come together and sit alongside these beautiful flowers for a moment of reflection and remembrance.  

"We’ve donated for a daisy in memory of our son Austin. We’re supporting the Daisy Appeal this year as we know first-hand the difference that the services the centre offer to local children and their families can make."
