Personalised Memory Boxes
Handcrafted wooden memory boxes created using personal photographs, names and meaningful details chosen by the child and family.
You do not have to face this alone.
We understand that losing someone you love changes life forever. For children, grief can feel confusing, overwhelming and difficult to express.
The Harvey Hext Trust was founded from personal experience and from the belief that every bereaved child deserves comfort, understanding and support.
Our personalised memory boxes and memory bears are designed to help children feel connected to the people they love while creating a safe place for treasured memories. Created with compassion and care, these are gifts for every child that needs one – there is no charge.
Helping children keep memories close.

Let your memories create a truly personal reflection of your love
Every child grieves differently.
Some children want to talk openly about grief, while others may communicate through behaviour, play, drawings or quiet moments.
There is no right or wrong way for a child to grieve.
Our aim is simply to provide comfort, reassurance and something lasting for children and families during incredibly difficult times.
