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.
