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

I’m reaching out to ask for your support for a cause that is deeply close to my heart ~ helping grieving dads who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a pregnancy or precious baby.

Too often, fathers struggle silently through grief, feeling pressure to stay strong while carrying deep pain. Through this fundraising effort, I hope to raise both awareness and financial support for Sussex based charity ~ Oscar's Wish Foundation.

I am running for OWF and Dad's that suffer in silence. We suffered an ectopic pregnancy in 2020. I really want to do something to help other Dad's in my position as I know that keeping all of my feelings bottled up is not good.

Thank you for your support ~it means a lot.
