Story

We know that baby death is taboo and so very sad to even comprehend, but for the families and friends that go through this each year it's devastating.

We want to ensure we can be there for all those families who wont be celebrating their babys first Christmas this year. During December more than 450 families will not be having a Happy Christmas; instead will be planning their babys funeral and wondering how they will get through the days, and weeks ahead. Their lives for ever changed.

It costs just £88 to support a family through the heartbreak with the provision of Family Support literature, Memory box, our bereavement support app, free national helpline, forum and network of support groups across the UK.

Thats why we need your help to raise £40,000 to ensure our support services remain available to everyone that needs them at this unbearably difficult and isolating time.

Help us to be there and be a lifeline to a family in need this Christmas. Give a Gift of Support and save a life. Your donation or fundraising can make a real difference today. Thank you.
