Forget-Me-Not Walk

Your walk, Your Way

This May, join us for the Forget Me Not Walk 2025, an event where we come together to honour the memories of people who have died.

On the weekend of 17th–18th May, take part in Your Walk, Your Way. Whether you choose to walk through your local park, to a meaningful place, or even around your neighbourhood, this is an opportunity to come together with friends, family, colleagues and communities to remember someone special in a way that feels right for you.

The Forget Me Not Walk, now in its 5th year, is about cherishing the memories that bring us together, celebrating memories, and creating moments of connection and reflection.

Whether you’re walking a mile or twenty, together let’s walk, remember and support bereaved children and their families. This event is open to everyone – for wheelchair friendly walks, click here.

Together, memories can help connect families across the UK. Sign up now and walk in memory, walk in hope, and walk your way.
