Tailored Yarn Memories provides a variety of free workshops and for bereaved families to preserve memories of their loved one. All of the training and resources required are provided thanks to National Lottery Community Funding.

How You Can Get Involved

Children's Art Therapy Workshops

Thanks to Comic Relief funding we have designed a short five week art therapy course for bereaved children. Full training is provided FREE for this course as well as detailed instructions and list of materials. It is recommended that an art therapist or qualified counsellor attends the sessions. 
After training is complete the course can be run as frequently as you like at your hospice or charity. All we request are details of attendance numbers and feedback for our social impact reporting.
Hospices can sign up here and if you are not connected to a hospice then please contact us and we can look at setting them up in your local area.

Adult Legacy Paintings

We provide free staff training for our legacy painting workshops which can then be run at your own hospice as frequently as you like throughout the year.
No previous watercolour experience is required as we share many examples to help spark inspiration.
In the near future we may be in a position to offer free online tutorials to accompany these sessions.
Hospices can signup here and if you are not connected to a hospice then please contact us and we can look at setting them up in your local area.

Online Storytelling Workshops

The online storytelling project supports families in creating their own stories and requires working alongside the adults in the family to gather memories and put them into a short illustrated story for the children.
No writing experience in required and Gillian Seale who is a published children’s author illustrator who guide families carefully through the process. Free short videos are provided as well as live tutorials.
The course is run with the online sessions three times a week giving families plenty of options to choose from. They can attend as frequently as they wish. They can also step back if life gets busy and return at a later point when things quieten down.
Individuals can sign up here.
