The First Blankets of the New Year!

We are so excited to be back in office ready for the new year! We’ve just reached the end of our first week back and it’s been so nice to see everyone again! We are still working through all of the lovely blankets that were posted to us over Christmas! But we’ve also had our first beautiful blankets of 2026 dropped off in our office!

Partnerships That Bring Change

Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from Xylem Watermark, our project in Uganda now has a brand-new water harvesting system!

This is a total game changer for our children at the Place of Safety and a fantastic way to make good use of those intense rainy seasons, to provide clean water for the community. It's been a joy to watch the progress of this work being carried out, knowing it would have never been possible without this generous donation.

Waste Nott Want Nott

We work with trusted partners to ensure end-of-life bulky waste is recycled properly. By properly, we mean in an environmentally responsible way - where raw materials are either used to manufacture new products or to generate energy! Our aim is to ensure nothing goes to landfill.

A lovely visit from Granby & Sutton WI

Today we had a lovely visit from representatives of Granby & Sutton Women’s Institute! It was wonderful to hear all that they have been doing for Forget Me Notts. They brought in many thick, warm blankets for the children we support.
