Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
NHS Hospital Bereavement
Units
Since the 29'" July 2019when the charity was registered as an official
charity and largely due to the generous
donations
we have received from
local businesses
and members
ofthe public, we have been able to
donate and support
more hospital
bereavement
units than planned.
After initially
working
with 2 hospitals,
we are now supporting
10hospitals
in England
and have plans to increase this further
during 2021.
We know from the feedback we get from the specialist bereavement
Midwives
who work on the units and the heartfelt messages
we get from
families, that the donations
and support we are providing
to families
is
valuable
and helping to make a difference.
We donated:
Cuddle Blankets, Care Packages,
HITH Keyrings 8 Cuddle
Cots.
Fundraising
Events
In 2019we held various fundraising
events (Dinner &Dance, Golf day
etc) which were a success and helped
us generate
funds for the charity
and spread awareness
about the work we do and baby loss in general.
Unfortunately,
due to COVID-19, we were unable to hold our main
fundraising
events
in 2020 which has had an impact on our ability to raise
funds.
Personal Support
Pre COVID-19 we held our monthly
support
groups and provided
support
via our website and social media plafforms. The support we provide
is
more emotional
support
and provides
people with an opportunity
to speak
to someone who has first-hand
experience
of baby loss.
Wave of Light Service
In 2019we held our very first 'Wave of Light Service' at our local Parish
Church and was very well attended.
The Wave of Light is an opportunity
tojoin with other bereaved
parents,
families, friends,
and people around the globe to light a candle and come
to remember
all babies and children
who have sadly died.
Unfortunately,
due to COVID-19, we were unable to hold this service at
Church,
but did host a virtual event on our social media plafforms.
