- A chance to work in a friendly team and to make new friends.
- The opportunity to make an invaluable contribution to lives of bereaved families.
The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills. - Rewarding to know you have helped make a difference to someone in need.

We need volunteers to help create and maintain our memorial garden.
Grow with us. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply someone with a kind heart, your contribution truly makes a difference. Every act of support helps keep this garden a place of comfort, beauty, and hope.
If you enjoy gardening and would like to make a meaningful difference, we would love you to volunteer with our bereavement garden project. By giving a little of your time to help with planting and weeding, you can help us care for a peaceful, comforting space for bereaved families to visit, reflect and remember. Whether you can help regularly or just from time to time, your support would be greatly appreciated.

Make a Difference, One Stitch at a Time
We’re inviting volunteer sewers to support our cot liner project and bring comfort to bereaved families during some of the hardest moments of their lives. These liners provide a soft, comforting touch to an Abi Cooling Cot.
With more than 300 Abi Cooling Cots now in use, and four handmade liners needed for every cot, the demand continues to grow. Each liner creates a soft, dignified resting place where babies can be held, loved, and cherished, giving families precious time together to create lasting memories.
Whether you’re able to sew one liner or many, your time and skill will make a meaningful and lasting difference.
Getting involved is simple. Follow our easy-to-use sewing pattern and step-by-step instructional video to get started.
