We are extremely pleased to have the garden officially open to the bereaved community of Scunthorpe. We are very proud and honoured to be able to have provided such a bright and welcoming garden for every family who have suffered the tragic loss of a child. It is our hope that with National campaigns such as #BritainGetTalking, it is vital for our mental health, especially during bereavement, that we talk. And with that at the forefront of the gardens purpose, we would hope this garden is used by any bereaved parent, sibling, family member or friend, to visit and talk about their children while using the space to honour them.

We were overwhelmed by the amazing turnout of people to witness the opening ceremony. We were all moved by the support shown, and we received so many positive comments, not only about the gardens aesthetic but also the meaning and purpose it has. 

We would like to personally thank our MP, Holly Mumby-Croft, who has given significant support and encouragement to the project from its inception, along with Rob Waltham, Andy Fidell and Chris Ramsbottom from North Lincolnshire Council. We also want to thank Carl Beacock at North Lincolnshire Council who has shown great passion for this project and has been a continual source of encouragement, knowledge and support to us all. 

We want to thank everyone who came to any of our Volunteer Days. We had a great turn out at all of them, and each person contributed to the progression of this garden with great enthusiasm and fantastic energy. Your donation of your free time to help this garden progress is sincerely appreciated. More Volunteer Days will be announced soon!
