Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice supports over 200 local children with life shortening conditions, and their families across West Yorkshire. Their fabulous support comes in many forms, including their purpose built hospice in Huddersfield, in the family home through their acclaimed Hospice at Home service along with hydrotherapy, music therapy, counselling and bereavement support.

Forget Me Not has partnered with YABA this year and representatives will be attending the event on 29th September so you can find out what you and your business can do for them. The government provide just 6% of the £3.8 million that needs to be raised each year, so fundraising is extremely important for the continuation of their work.

Peter Branson, Chief Executive of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice said ‘We are honoured that the Yorkshire Asian Business Association have chosen Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice as their Charity Partner for the 2016 Annual Awards. It is organisations such as the Yorkshire Asian Business Association, and the companies and individuals who are part of it, that make it possible for us to continue saying yes to children and families, and we would like to thank everyone at YABA for their support’.

The charity endeavours to say yes to every child and family that needs their help and, with over 1300 families potentially needing their support in West Yorkshire, the charity is only at the start of their journey. Not only does Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice team up with businesses to raise awareness and funds, they commonly work with individuals and community groups too. You can get involved and new ideas are more than welcome with Forget Me Not excited to embrace and support fundraising ideas where possible and will provide equipment such as collection tubs and promotional material.
