ARC is a very small charity who does not easily attract funding and does not receive any support from the Government.

They offer specialised support for as long as it is needed when expectant parents receive a worrying screening result or when a fetal anomaly is diagnosed in their unborn baby. ARC recognises that expectant parents who are told that their baby has a significant anomaly need emotional support and practical information to make the right decision for them in their individual circumstances about how the pregnancy should proceed.

ARC gives long term support to parents whatever decision is made about the future of their pregnancy through a national helpline, coordinated network of volunteer parent contacts, password-protected internet support forums, face-to-face meetings, regular newsletters and a range of publications for parents and their families.

I will be running the London Marathon for this amazing charity, in Loving Memory of Baby Wood.
