We wanted to raise some money for Antenatal Research Choices (ARC), in memory of our daughter Robyn, who was born on 16th of March 2024.

Through the most painful weeks we were lucky enough to have the support of a wide network of family, friends, and health professionals. We contacted ARC at one of our most uncertain and low moments. They were truly exceptional, giving kind, compassionate and knowledgeable advice. They provided us with expert support and information that we didn’t even know we needed. As the only national charity to provide this type of specialised support for bereaved and expectant parents and their families, ARC's helpline, online community, and leaflets are an invaluable resource.

Any amount you can give would be very much appreciated (and please Gift Aid if you can).

Some further information about ARC from their website:
