Mariposa International (SG) Ltd Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 October 2024 Objects The objects of the charity are the protection and preservation of good health of parents and their families affected by gestational loss, stillbirth or death of a babyi in particular, but not exclusively by the holding of commemorative services and the provision of a variety of support services including a national telephone helpline, befriending groups, counselling and therapy. UK Issue: Baby loss has been an issue for thousands of years, however over recent years, advancements in the early detection of pregnancies, has led to people finding out from as early as 4 weeks that they are pre8nant. This, however. means that they are also then aware from an earlier stage if they suffer a loss. In the UK, miscarriage continues to affect around l-in4 pregnancies or around 250,000 each year, with around 3,000 Stillbirths, and a similar number of Neonatal and Early Years losses being reported. Even though there have been reductions, the UK continues to fall well short of many Western Developed nations in levels of Stillbirths. International.. Baby loss is a global issue with an estimated 23 million mlscarrlages [Lancet Report 2021], 2.6 million stillbirth5 [Lancet Report 2016], and 5.495 million neonatal and early years, losses [WHO and other sources]. The alms of the charlty are fulfllled In 4 maln ways: Servlces: The Saying Goodbye Services were the first national set of remembrance services for people who have suffered baby loss and were launched by the charity in 2012. Held at Cathedrals, Minsters, Abbeys and sl8nlficant venues across the UK and internationally, the services are open to all people regardless of falth or no falth and look to celebrate, acknowled8e and remember the lives unlived or cut short. During 2023- 2024, the charity held 19 services in 7 countries. Support: The Saying Goodbye support service, now provides support to tens of thousands of people every week, via befrienders, soclal media (Insta8ramnwitter{X)/Facebook/Pinterest) forums, counsellors, and more. Saying Goodbye primarily supports people who have suffered baby loss at any stage of pregnancy• at birth, or during infancy. The charity currently does not have the resources to provide a full-time national helpline, however, it currently provides Telephone Supporf to people who request it. Addltional Support: The charity has five additional support divisions. 'Growln8You' is a specialist division worklng with people who are pregnant followin8 losing a baby, as the trauma of loss can cause slgnificant fear for people. 'Waiting for you, supports people through the adoption process. 'Holdin8 Hope, supports parents (many of whom have gone through baby loss) through fertllity treatment. 'Love in Every Tearf supports people who are supporting others throu8h loss. 'So Cherished, supports parents who have received a terminal dia8nosis over their baby. Resources and Trainin8: The charity saw the need for better resources to be used within hospitals and the wider medical community, and as such produced the 'Baby Loss and You, leaflet. This leaflet is now used in around 70% of NHS trusts and hospitals and is provided free of charge by the charity. In addition, the charity has acce55 to other resources that it is able to provide. Furthermore, the charity also provides training
Mariposa International (SG) Ltd Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 October 2024 sessions with midwifery teams, bereavement mldwives, and other medical professionals, to improve patient care, support and experience. Campal8ning: Saying Goodbye works with various agencies including NHS England and others to encourage best practice, and to actively campaign for improvements in pre- and post-loss care. In May 2016, the charity was awarded 'Stakeholderf status with the Department of Health and Social Care and is actively working with this department, as well as members of Parliament and members of the House of Lords, to bring about improvements in care. Though the standard of care has seen improvements, such as the introductlon of bereavement suites in some hospitals, there are still vast chasms of inequality In the standard of care, and the charity is committed to helping bring about change. In July 2017, the charity saw the 'National Loss Certificate, Bill introduced into the House of Lords, which it has campai8ned for with the help of Baroness Floella Benjamin DBE. This looks to see a voluntary certificate introduced allowing babies lost before 24 weeks gestation, the chance to be formally recognised and registered. Political hold-ups due to Brexit and then the Covid-19 pandemic have meant this ha5 pro8re55ed slower than hoped. In 2021 this received another readin8 in the House of Lords. In February 2018 the Secretary of State for Health (The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt) announced the first Natlonal Review into baby loss pre-24-weeks 8estation, including looking at the support systems In place for parents, certification and more. Zoe Clark-coates MBE, the trustee and director of Mariposa International, was appolnted by the DHSC and No 10 to co-chair the review. After five and a half years, the review was laid in Parliament in July 23, puttin8 forward 73 recommendations to overhaul clinical care and support of any pre- 24-week loss, with the Prime Minister accepting all 73. Mariposa International has been involved on the review's advisory panel, sharing the views and experlences of the hundreds of thousand5 of people it has worked with, and is involved in the implementation of the review. The first of the recommendations to be implemented will be the new 'Certificate of Loss,, which will be a fulfilment of nearly a decade of work by the charity, impacting millions of lives. In February 2024 the new 'Certificate of Loss, was formally introduced by the UK government, and then was fully rolled out in October 2024, with tens of thousands of certificates being Immediately applied for, underlylng the critical importance of our campaign, dedicated work and their Implementation. The Issue of loss: Baby loss has always been a taboo subject with a stigma often attached to people who experience it, meaning that it is often never addressed or openly discussed. The 'Don't tell anyone untll you are 12 weeks, message means that people suffer in silence, not wanting to share their pain. Furthermore. as friends and family often struggle to know what to say about someone's loss. they will often choose not to say anything and hope that the person gets over it, which again makes the person goin8 through the Ios5 feel unable to share or ask for help and support. Grief over babyloss can be extreme and must be dealt with for people to move forward positively with their lives, as all too often they can become caught in a cycle of grief. The outworking of unresolved grief can often lead to physical, emotlonal and mental illness, which can directly Impair and hinder a person's life. Thls can often have implication5 and adverse effects on relationships, employment and many other areas of life. The 'need' to have an avenue for acknowledging and remembering a loss is key to working through and overcoming grief, which is why the services and support provided by the charity are vital.

The certification scheme, which is fully funded by the UK government, has been introduced across England, allowing anyone who suffers a pre-24-week baby loss to receive full recognition of thelr loss with an official government issued certificate.
