As our EOFY appeal comes to an end, there’s still time to help us make a difference.

At the beginning of June, we had funding available for just five more retreat stays. With more than forty stays already booked across the next six months, we launched our EOFY appeal.

We have been deeply encouraged by the generosity of our community and are so grateful to everyone who has given. Every donation truly does make a difference.

With a few days still to go, your support has already helped fund 20 additional stays for bereaved families.

Together, every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping us walk alongside bereaved families and remind them they are not alone.

These words from one of our guests remind us that it is often the smallest acts of care that leave the deepest impact.

Where does your donation go?

Your EOFY gift helps us provide the thoughtful details that transform a retreat stay into a place of comfort, rest and support for grieving families.

Your donation helps cover the ongoing costs of cleaning and linen services while also providing everyday essentials and nourishing touches — meals, fresh bread, milk, eggs, pantry supplies, bath salts, candles and other small comforts that help guests feel cared for during an incredibly difficult time.

These are the things families often remember.
The nourishing meal.
The stocked kitchen.
The quiet moments of comfort.

Before 30 June, your tax-deductible donation can help ensure we can continue offering these practical expressions of care to families navigating child loss.

Visit our website to donate today.

Thank you for helping us create moments of comfort, connection and hope when they are needed most.

What does it mean to have the space to grieve?

As Sheree's story reflects, finding space to grieve can be incredibly difficult amidst the demands of everyday life, yet having that space can make a profound difference.

At Forever Held, we're committed to creating opportunities for families to find a place of rest and refuge. Our retreat is surrounded by nature, away from the constant noise and distractions of everyday life.

This EOFY, we're raising funds to help ensure these opportunities remain accessible to bereaved families. Community support helps us continue providing retreats, remembrance experiences and connection, so that grieving parents can find the space to slow down, breathe, and remember their child.

If our mission resonates with you, and you'd like to make a difference, we'd be so grateful for your support. Visit our website today to make a tax-deductible donation and help us continue providing these precious opportunities.

Today marks the start of our EOFY Appeal.

At Forever Held, we welcome parents and families navigating the heartbreak of losing a child. Our retreat offers time away from the demands of everyday life—a chance to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, these retreat stays are provided at no cost to families.

If you're in a position to give this EOFY, we'd be so grateful for your support. Your tax-deductible donation will help us continue providing free retreat stays for bereaved families.

💛 Help us continue to create space to grieve.

~ Bereaved Mother’s Day ~

Today, we hold space for the mothers whose arms ache, whose hearts carry both deep love and deep grief.

At Forever Held, we know that motherhood does not end with loss - it changes. It becomes quieter, heavier, and often unseen. But it is no less real. Your child was here. Your child is loved. And you are, and always will be, their mother.

We exist to create space for that grief - to honour it, not rush it. To offer a place where parents can step away from the noise of the world and simply be… to remember, to rest, and to feel held in their loss.

Today, and every day, we stand beside bereaved mothers. We see you. We remember your children with you. And we honour the enduring love that will always exist between you.

Forever their mother. Forever held.
