Kristian's fundraiser for Held In Our Hearts

Kristian Melson is raising money for Held In Our Hearts

Team: Held in Our Hearts vs FC Arniston Rangers – Baby Loss Awareness Charity Match.

In memory of Isobel Melson

Football Match - Held in Our Hearts vs Sands - 11th October · 11 October 2026

We are Held In Our Hearts, a Scottish baby loss charity providing baby loss counselling and support to families. From early-intervention, Hospital to Home support, to long term care in the community - our mission is to ensure no one in Scotland faces baby loss alone.

Story

Baby loss affects thousands of families every year, yet it remains something that many people suffer through in silence.

For those of us involved in this match, this cause is deeply personal.

All of the players taking part are bereaved fathers who have experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss. We know first-hand the impact that losing a baby can have on individuals, relationships, and families.

On Sunday 11th October 2026, during Baby Loss Awareness Week, Held in Our Hearts and Sands Glasgow FC will come together at the Vanloq Community Stadium, home of Spartans FC, not just to play football, but to raise awareness, remember our babies, and support other families facing the same unimaginable loss.

Every penny raised will help support the incredible work carried out by charities that provide counselling, support services, resources, and a caring community for bereaved parents and families.

This match is about more than football.

💙It's about remembering the babies who should be here.

💙It's about supporting families who feel alone.

💙It's about turning loss into something positive.

And it's about ensuring that no family has to face baby loss on their own.

Thank you for your support 💙🤍

Together, we remember. Together, we support.
