Fairy Footprints CLG

Fairy Footprints Company Limited by Guarantee operates as a registered charity in the Republic of Ireland, holding the charity number 20103637. The organisation was established in 2015 in memory of Róisín Redmond and Holly Gorey. It was initially founded by the parents of these two girls, specifically Carol Gorey, David Redmond, and Lynda Redmond, to honour their daughters. The primary focus of the charity is to provide special memory boxes to families who have experienced the bereavement of a child. The company aims to offer comfort during times of great sadness by providing tangible items that serve as a link to the deceased child.

The charity works in collaboration with hospitals and outreach nurses across the country to reach those in need. The founders hope that the memory boxes will provide something real and tangible when memories alone are not enough to console grieving parents. They intend for the items contained within the boxes to become treasured pieces that create an unbroken chain of connection from the parents to the little one they miss. The service is designed to support bereaved parents throughout the Republic of Ireland, offering a physical reminder of their child during a difficult period of loss and mourning.
