As a Bereavement Midwife I know the positive impact of bereavement rooms and compassionate resources. I am raising money to continue and expand the provision and options available to families who so tragically lose their baby during pregnancy or soon after.

The Forget Me Not fund provides additional support for families when they have suffered the devastation of baby loss. The fund is used to maintain the Forget Me Not suite which is a space dedicated to bereaved families. It has home comforts such as a double bed whilst also having the necessary medical equipment, keeping grieving families safe and compassionately cared for.

The Forget Me Not fund is supporting the development of a second space providing families with privacy, space and the time they need in a homely environment.

The Forget Me Not fund purchases books to support explaining death to younger children and supporting individuals through the months after baby loss. The fund also provides memory making equipment such as a photo printing and life casting for older babies.

RUHX (formerly The Forever Friends Appeal) is the official NHS charity of the Royal United Hospitals Bath. We’re here to make our place healthier, happier and stronger for the future. And we do that by supporting the extra extraordinary work that leads to exceptional care for everyone.
