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.

newspaper and ma8azine articles across the UK. In addition to the print media coverage, there has been TV
exposure and radio interviews for stations including Global Radio (Heart, Capital), BBC Radio, Talk Radio,
Bauer Media, the BBC, ITV, and Talk TV. The standing of Mariposa International as being one of the (if not
the) leading baby loss support charity, now means that the charity and its founders and CEO'S are called on
a regular basis by the BBC and other radio stations across the UK to comment on baby loss related stories.
Global publications like the New York fimes, Agence France and Associated Press also now use the charity
for comment and advice on stories, gaining a hu8e profile for the charlty and its work. The standing of Zoe-

coverage for the charity.

awards, the charity received hundreds of nominations from across the UK and presented awards to over 30
frontline healthcare professlonals Involved in baby loss care and support.

more, to her audience of around 120,0(X) followers.

line the UK and global presence of the charity. To achieve this, the UK charity became 'Mariposa International
(SG) Ltd, trading a5 both 'Mariposa International. and 'Saying Goodbye, and completed the necessary legal
changes with Companies House, HMRC and the Charity Commission. This process also involved the creation
of a new logo, and in tlme, new website5.

Mariposa International (SG) Ltd
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 Ortober 2024
Following the success of the campaign for certification, the charity, once again working with Baroness
Benjamin, introduced the 'Still Birth (Definition) Bill. in the House of Lords, which looks to bring down the
term at which loss in identified as a stillbirth (24-weeks in the UK) down to 20 week's gestation.

together experts in the field of baby loss, as well as governments, NGO'S, organisations and practitioners
81obally to share best practice, look at the introduction of certification globally and improve baby loss care

The introduction of the certificates of loss following the 10-year campaign by the charity, hi8hlights one of
the milestones in the charity's work to acknowled8e baby loss and improve support for anyone affected by
baby loss, whether recently or historically. 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. Furthermore, the charlty
