Section D Achievements and erformance p

We provided a new Flexmort Cuddle Cot to the Princess of Wales Summary of the main Maternity Unit to allow bereaved families to spend more time with their achievements of the charity lost babies, providing them the opportunity to say goodbye in their own during the year time. Although this year saw the cessation of most face to face activity due to Covid-19 restrictions we were able to continue offering support to members through the use of Zoom meetings and telephone befriending. We were able to secure a Covid Grant of £1250 to help us continue through lockdown & the restriction associated with Covid-19, including the purchase of dedicated mobile phones for our Befrienders.

We were able to secure a grant of £25000 to help redevelop the Bluebell Bereavement Suite in the Princess of Wales Maternity Unit. This will be redeveloped once the pandemic allows as the room is temporarily being utilised to help with Covid-19 patients.

We were able to hold our Remembrance Service at Nolton Church Bridgend in January and although our other remembrance services could not be held as normal we participated in the Wave of Light in remembrance of all babies loved and lost and shared our memories and candles on-line in our Facebook Group.
