A little about the charity

The team at 4Louis provide memory boxes to over 200 hospitals across the country for bereaved parents to create ever lasting precious memories with their child. I can say from the bottom of my heart our memories 4Louis and Colchester Hospital helped us create, mean everything to us.  This is only a small percentage of what they do.

If anyone is interested in getting involved in any way, please contact charity 4Louis directly.

WHERE WE ARE

By car:

Whether approaching Wivenhoe House from London and the South or Ipswich and the North via the A12, take the exit marked Colchester (A133). Follow the A133 towards Clacton, ignore the entrance to the Knowledge Gateway, continue along the A133 then take the B1028 for Wivenhoe before turning right into Boundary Road, then right again into Park Road. The entrance for Wivenhoe House is shared with the University of Essex but Park Road leads you through Wivenhoe Park and you will be able to see the glorious house from the road.
