Story

Life can be painfully short but little hands can leave life long prints on our hearts and souls. 

Freddie Alexander Crawford, born sleeping on 28th May 2019. Forever loved and forever in our hearts.

We are fund raising to help Simba create a family room in our local St John's hospital. Family rooms are the most special place; a place where we can't change the sadness of what has happened but we can and have changed the feel and the sanctuary of the space. Time spent in our family rooms making the most precious of memories, time together as a family, with family and friends, time that can never be replaced will now be time spent in the most perfect surroundings.

SiMBA is here to support anyone who has suffered the loss of a baby during pregnancy or close to the time of birth. We offer a range of support and services; We donate Memory Boxes to help families to gather precious items of the time that they have to spend with their baby. We refurbish Family Rooms giving families and peaceful homely place in the hospital to send time with their baby. In conjunction with CHAS we offer free advanced bereavement and palliative care study days for midwives and hospital staff. Adding a leaf onto our Tree of Tranquillity shows parents that they are not alone in their loss and acts as a place to remember and reflect. We also offer monthly bereavement support groups across Scotland, 24 hour online support and we organise family friendly awareness events throughout the year.
