π FINALISTS β BBC - Make a Difference Awards! π
We are incredibly proud to share that Forget-Me-Knot FC has been named a finalist in the BBC Radio Stoke Make a Difference Awards.
What started as a group of dads brought together through the heartbreak of losing a baby or child has become so much more than football. It has become a safe space, a support network, and a community where no one has to walk this journey alone. Every conversation, every training session, every match, and every shared moment helps remind bereaved parents that they are understood and supported.
From all of the dads at Forget-Me-Knot FC, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate us. Your support means the world and is recognition of every family that is part of our community.
A special thank you to Port Vale FC and and to the amazing bereavement midwives at , Sarah and Caroline, whose support, compassion and dedication continue to make such a difference to families facing unimaginable loss.
We would also like to congratulate the other finalists and everyone nominated in our category. The work being done across Staffordshire is truly inspiring. We are all winners, and Staffordshire should be incredibly proud of the people and organisations who dedicate so much time and effort to supporting others.
Whatever happens next, this recognition belongs to every parent, every family, and every person who has been part of the Forget-Me-Knot FC journey. π
