How your gift will help bereaved families right now, and in the future to reduce the numbers of babies dying and families needing our support 


Today hundreds of bereaved parents, their families, and friends are adjusting to a life without their much loved and wanted baby. An experience and adjustment no person should have to come to terms with; their lives for ever changed. Your gift can and will make a difference to the people that we help.


Your gift could help us:


  • Provide free bereavement support to anyone affected by the death of a baby, no matter how long ago, help us to expand our bereavement support services and ensure they are accessible to every bereaved family throughout their journey.
  • Provide free local support for bereaved families right across the UK offering free regular support meetings for anyone affected by the death of a baby.
  • Maintain and expand our accredited bereavement care training programme for health professionals, ensuring that every family whose baby has died receives equally excellent bereavement care.
  • Work towards ensuring that every parent whose baby has died has access to a bereavement suite, wherever they live in the UK and enable us to support the opening of new bereavement suites, and improve existing ones, across the country.
  • Fund crucial research into reducing the numbers of babies dying and help us to better understand the causes of baby deaths and ultimately save babies’ lives.

The help you give today will provide a lifeline of support when it is needed the most. You will be supporting a vision of a world where fewer babies die and where every bereaved family, wherever they live in the UK, gets the care and support they need, when they need, for as long as they need it. 


Thank you.
