Creating Memories
To Treasure

Creating Memories is a Bedford-based charity that works to create treasured memories for people living in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Our approach

The people we create memories for may wish for things that we might take for granted, but these unique requests mean the world to them.

For each and every request that comes to us, aside from raising funds, our work includes; research, making use of our connections, seeking sponsorship and support, reaching out to local communities, planning, organising and tailoring – we try to make sure that everyone feels cared for and each moment is as special as it can possibly be.

We want our individuals and their families to enjoy the memory as fully as possible without having to worry about the details.

Having treasured memories to look back on lifts spirits, relieves stress and improves the mental health of individuals, their families and those who support them.

We are Creating Memories designed to be treasured forever.
