Forget-Me-Notts is Operation Orphan’s UK-based project, supporting vulnerable children and families who are dealing with many issues, including bed poverty.

Post-Referral Reflections

Hello everyone, Emma here!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining Matt out on the road for a day of referrals; together we installed 2 sets of drawers, a single bed, a cot bed, and of course, all of the cuddly bedding, blankets, and soft toys to make the children’s new beds oh so dreamy.

Nicole, AKA, the 'bunk bed queen'!

I’m halfway into my placement year at Operation Orphan and one of the highlights of my experience is being able to join the Forget-Me-Notts team on referrals.

Mattress Matters...

Bed poverty affects thousands of vulnerable children across the UK. We all know how we feel when we don’t sleep well and many of you will know how children behave when they don’t get enough sleep.
