Raising awareness – attend public events, handing out leaflets and talking to the public about Edwards Syndrome. We also actively raise awareness through social media, regional press and television. Fundraising events – to raise funds to subsidise £100 towards non-invasive prenatal testing (for those that wish to opt for private screening in pregnancy) for women who have previously suffered a loss to Edwards Syndrome. We continue to support another charity – Baby Loss Awareness. We sought support for this from local organisations, who lit up pink and blue for the cause. We also put together a baby loss memorial window display, offering those that have lost the chance to remember their little ones on our memorial tree. |

Para 1.20 | The main achievements of the charity for this year have been that: • Our fifth window display for baby loss awareness week (October 2022) was an incredible success. We remembered over 250 little ones on our memory display, and it was received by the public with such love and care. With this we also appeared on S4C's Dathlu Dewrder, receiving an award for courage - although this wasn't aired on TV until Dec 23. • We attended a local family fun day with a tombola stall. We had some wonderful donations from supporters and raised a lot of money and awareness – even spoke to our Mayor about our charity and Edwards Syndrome! • We did our second Christmas |
