National 3 Peaks · 15 May 2023

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

In May 2023, I will be taking on the Three Peaks Challenge (I know I can’t believe it either) with my colleagues at The Barton Partnership, climbing the UK’s three largest mountains in 24 hours, to raise money for Oscars Wish Foundation.

On the 25/12/2022 my boyfriends sister Beth and her partner Tom’s son Felix Simon Cooper-Coxhead was born stillborn; born sleeping in the stars. During this time of unimaginable sadness, Oscars Wish Foundation provided them with a private room at the hospital to spend some time and say their goodbyes and are now also funding their counselling to help them deal with the loss of Felix.

Not only do donations mean the world to the people at Oscars Wish Foundation but also to all of the parents that they help every day who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to say goodbye in this way. If you can spare any money at all to this amazing charity to ensure that other families are able to receive comfort and support following the loss of a baby or babies before, during or shortly after birth it would be greatly appreciated!
