We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve chosen to support Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
Why Choose Forget Me Not?
“Life limiting.” “Life shortening.”
These are the terms no parent wants to hear. But sadly families hear those phrases for the first every day.
And it’s the incredible people at Forget Me Not who help children and families across the whole of Yorkshire to cope with the news, handle the medical jargon, and be there for families for however long they need them. Sometimes it’s years of support with a loved one, sometimes the loved one has only only hours or days. No matter the length of time the child is here, Forget Me Not can kindly help the family to navigate very emotional and difficult times.
Forget Me Not Charity does amazing work in the surrounding areas in which ProVu and our staff live. As a company that values family – some of whom are or soon-to-be be parents, we wanted to reflect this value in our choice. Last year we did adhoc fundraising for Forget Me Not. Now we’d like to step it up a notch and raise more to contribute to the overall costs of operating the hospice and its services.
The work Forget Me Not does to support local families is incredible. It ranges from fun days out to make memories through to support liaising with police and hospitals. Their day-to-day responsibilities bring a tear to the eye.
Right now, the charity is helping 165 children and their families; their parents, siblings, and grandparents.
Forget Me Not needs 7 million GBP to continue their great work for another year. With only 18.5% of this is government funded, they need companies like ours to work hard and play hard to raise funds. From world cup sweepstakes to physical challenges, we’re putting our heads together to choose how we’ll do this.
