NHS Hospital Bereavement Units In CY21 we were able to increase the number of NHS hospital bereavement units we are supporting from 10to 13,we have plans to |
|||
| increase this further during 2022. |
||||
| 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, |
Cuddle | |||
| Cots, Reading books for siblings, Clothing etc |
||||
| Charity Hosted Fundraising Events |
||||
| Unfortunately, due to COVID, we were unable to host any fundraising |
||||
| events in CY21, which has limited our ability to raise funds and |
||||
| awareness. However, we are planning on hosting some in CY22. |
||||
| Donations | ||||
| We received a substantial amount ofdonations during CY21.The biggest |
||||
| single income, coming from the 2021 London Marathon. | ||||
| Personal Support | ||||
| Due to COVID, we were unable to host our monthly face to face | support | |||
| groups but continued to provided support via our website and social |
||||
| media platforms. | ||||
| 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 ofLight Service | ||||
| In 2021 we were able to hold our 'Wave of Light Service' at our | local | |||
| Parish Church, which was very well attended and appreciated. |
||||
| 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. |
||||
| Christmas Crafts Day For Siblings In Dec-21 we held our 1"Christmas Crafts Day, where bereaved |
siblings | |||
| were able to come and make special decorations in memory oftheir |
||||
| brother or sister that they could take home for their Christmas Tree. |
||||
| The feedback from those who attended was extremely positive, |
we have | |||
| already booked to hold this again in Dec-22. |
