(UK, XT23607) Browse eventsAfter the sudden death of 23 month old Daniel Estick in 2009 the Trust was established, in his memory, to help others along the personal road of grief and to offer opportunities for local children to just have fun. The Gift of a Memory treasure box ... Having a place for pictures, documents and items special to loved ones is an important start on the long and rocky road of grief. The Trust began by providing “memory boxes ” to health professionals, local church ministers and bereavement charities, in Milton Keynes. However, since visiting Keech Children’s Hospice in Luton, the trusts founders set themselves a new goal of providing these boxes to every Children’s Hospice who would like them in the UK (approx 52). The boxes the trust provides are all hand made by G. Ryder & Co Ltd in Bletchley. They can be personalised by parents and siblings and have become a much used tool by councillors and organisations helping bereaved parents. It may sound like a small and insignificant item but through bitter experience the parents of Daniel know how hard it is to immediately know what to do with those items. At a time when rational thought is rare, our boxes should help to reduce any regrets further down the line on having lost or damaged irreplaceable items. Helping create memories to treasure... From Woburn Sands, (Daniels home town near Milton Keynes) the trust organises heavily subsidised trips to allow local children to develop their own treasured memories and just have fun. It also helps provide local children’s groups with messy play and art materials so they too have the opportunity to create special items to treasure.
