Forget-Me-Not Walk

Your Walk, Your Way

Every step tells a story. Every memory matters.

Join the Forget-Me-Not Walk 2026.

Take steps. Make a difference. Remember someone special.

On the weekend of 16–17 May, people across the UK will step forward in memory of someone special and celebrate the power of cherishing memories.

The Forget-Me-Not Walk offers a meaningful space for families, friends and individuals to walk in remembrance while raising vital funds to support bereaved children, young people and their families.

There’s no set route or location — simply walk wherever feels meaningful to you and be part of something bigger. Whether you walk through your local park, visit a place that holds special memories, or stroll around your neighbourhood, every step helps honour someone you love.

Whether you walk solo or with others, the Forget-Me-Not Walk provides a heartfelt way to remember the lives of those we’ve lost while making a difference for bereaved children and young people.

How to Get Involved

Taking part is simple. Sign up, choose a route that’s meaningful to you, and share your fundraising page with friends and family.

1. Sign Up: Register online today and receive your walking pack, including a memory sticker and other goodies to make your walk special.

2. Choose Your Route: Plan your walk in a place that’s meaningful to you, whether alone or with family and friends.

3. Fundraise & Share: Create your fundraising page in memory of someone who has died and share your event with friends, family and colleagues. Every step you take helps Grief Encounter continue supporting bereaved children, young people and their families.

This event is open to everyone.
