The Swimmer · 14 January 2023

We provide comfort and support to Parents and siblings following the loss of a baby or babies before, during or shortly after birth. We are working all over Sussex offering Bereavement Support, Specialist Bereavement Counselling* and Support Programmes for Mums and Dads. We are working alongside the Brighton Sussex and University Hospitals in Sussex to create gentle, calm spaces for families to spend time with their baby/ies within their Hospitals. We have undertaken a number of Refurbishment projects across the Early Pregnancy Units and Labour Wards and Day Assessment Units to date to ensure that parents can spend time with their baby or babies in a dignified, gentle and precious way before heartbreakingly saying goodbye. "We truly cannot thank you enough for creating such a safe, well equipped space for us to say hello and goodbye to our beautiful baby boys" We base our Charity on heartfelt, compassionate experiences to educate and raise awareness of loss for Parents & Siblings. Working closely with Healthcare professionals to ensure your voices are heard and your babies are honoured. We have a range of Resources, a Library, Information Packs and Bereavement Support Programmes available to support funded counselling. Our online Support Groups have allowed a dedicated space for Parents to explore their feelings, thoughts and share their grief journey with others. "This group has been a real lifeline for me during some of the hardest days of my life"

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are running a half marathon across London with dips in the Hampstead Ponds, parliament hill lido, the serpentine and Brockwell lido en route! It’s going to be Baltic! 

Oscar’s wish is a local charity set up by a grieving mother after the loss of her baby at 26weeks of pregnancy. The charity works tirelessly to support other bereaved families - to make memories, provide bereavement counselling, support networks and so much more. Post covid, funds are low. Please support if you can 💙
