So, on Tuesday 29 Sept, I will be joining members from Poole Hospital Charity in lacing up my walking boots to walk 10km from Poole Maternity Hospital to Sandbanks and back. We are all hoping to do our bit and raise funds for our hospital, and for me, I will be raising funds for the special charity, SPRING, located at St Mary’s Maternity Unit. 

Having worked for SPRING for a year now, I truly see that the care and support that our team provides to bereaved parents and families makes such a difference when experiencing such incredibly difficult circumstances. And this is why I am raising funds for this charity.

SPRING is set up to provide support to parents and relatives who have experienced the death of a baby during pregnancy, at, or just after birth.  This includes miscarriage, stillbirth and termination for foetal abnormality.

SPRING provides a much needed and valued counselling service, along with remembrance events and support meetings, available to bereaved parents and relatives in Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding areas.

Many thanks for taking the time to read my page and a special thank you to those that support and donate to this charity. Donations given, however big or small, truly make a big difference to our bereaved parents and families.  Zoe xx
