Story

Every day in the UK 15 babies die before, during, or shortly after they are born. When a baby dies people are often lost for words. Finding the right words at the right time can really help to support bereaved parents and families when they need it most.  

For many bereaved parents the pain of their baby dying is made worse when the people around them – be that friends, family, healthcare professionals, or work colleagues – simply can’t find the words to talk to them about their baby.  No one grieving after the death of their baby should have to do so in isolation. 

You can help us to break the silence and help everyone find the words to talk to someone whose baby has died.

Help us to be there for those that need our support

Our vision is 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 it, for as long as they need it.  

Your donation will mean we are one step closer to that reality and ensure that we can be there when we are needed the most.  Thank you.
