Never Forgotten Christmas Appeal 2024

An image with an illustration of a robin and text that says, "Never Forgotten, Forever Loved. When a robin appears, your loved one is near."

When a Robin Appears, Your Loved One Is Near

A special song.

A signature scent.

A particular turn of phrase…

How many times has a smell, a song, or even a saying recalled your loved one to you as clearly as if they were standing right in front of you?

You know how powerful these sensory memories can be, flooding your heart with love for the person you miss the most in the world.

But they can sting like nettles too. Especially at Christmastime, when you feel the pain of your loved one’s absence like a hole in your heart.

When you lose someone you love so deeply, you find your own special ways of keeping them with you every day.

For many people, it’s the magical little robin who brings such profound comfort, that a visit from a robin friend feels like a message from their loved and lost.

Never Forgotten... Forever Loved.

Robins. Scents. Songs. Sayings. Flowers. Books. Places. Even jokes…

Will you find a few moments to share a precious memory you carry in your heart of the person you’re missing this Christmas, and remember them with a special gift today?
