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

Oscar's Wish Foundation (OWF) offers comfort and support to parents, family, friends and siblings who have experienced the devastating loss of a precious baby before, during or shortly after birth.

Our story

In 2024, sadly we lost our baby boy late in the pregnancy. He was born on 25th December and we named him Lapin.

During a time of unimaginable sadness, pain and confusion OWF offered the most incredible support to us both, in ways we did not even know we needed at the time.

They thought of everything. On the day Lapin was born they provided a hospital room so we had the privacy to go through labour and a peaceful space to meet and spend time with him.

In the months following Lapin’s birth, OWF offered guidance on the practical elements, such as registering his death and organising the funeral. Alongside this was bereavement counselling, which proved invaluable in helping us to process what had happened.

Even now, a year on, they are always just a phone call away.

Oscar’s Wish Foundation is a small but vital charity and they rely entirely on donations to offer this incredible wrap round support. It’s a service no one wants to have use, but when the worst happens it’s there to guide you and provide some comfort.

The money we raise means they can continue to offer families like ours support in their time of need.

Thank you.
