A Little Lifetime Foundation is a registered charity and a voluntary organisation. We strive to keep our running costs to the absolute minimum whilst ensuring that we can continue to provide our support services to bereaved parents. In keeping with this, both our executive and support teams are entirely made up of volunteers. We engage a professional bereavement therapist who attends our support meetings and who provides counselling for bereaved parents and mentoring for our parent support team.
We understand how much it means to bereaved parents, and their family and friends, to organise an event in memory of their precious baby and we are honoured when parents choose to organise their fundraising event on behalf of ALLF. We are very happy to supply our ALLF t-shirts to be worn at your ALLF fundraising event. Our ALLF t-shirts can be personalised with your baby’s name, special date or left blank as you wish.
