Thank you to all that attended our recent memorial service at St. Margaret's Church, Rainham. As always a very emotional service which we hope gave comfort to those who could make it. We were very humbled with the generosity received via the retiring collection in support of Abigail's Footsteps which totalled £522.42.

On 26th November 1970, a 17 year old John Weir waited at this spot to start his first day working within the funeral profession for the then family run funeral directors Thomas Fowle and sons, working as "the boy".
55 years later, a lot has changed but still as committed as day 1...

We are truly humbled to receive a thoughtful donation of a specialised cold cot in memory of babies Nellie and Nancie Cobb, which was purchased after tireless fundraising by parents Kelsie and Kye with the support of Abigail's Footsteps.
A cold cot is a refrigerated cot that allows parents to spend more time with their baby than would otherwise be possible. The cold cot helps parents to continue to bond with their baby and aids the grieving process.
It was an honour to be trusted to look after Nellie and Nancie during such a difficult time for the family and now with the possession of the cold cot their legacy will continue with the support we can offer families in the future.
