Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
NHS Hospital Bereavement Units
We know from the feedback from the specialist bereavement Midwives
who work on the units and the heartfelt messages we gel from families,
that the donations and support we are providing lo families are valuable
and helping lo make a difference.
Throughout CY24, we donated the following- Cuddle Blankets. Care
Packages. HITH Keyrings. and Small Baby Clothes etc.
Donations
We received a significant amount of donations during CY24.
We are fortunate that many families we have supported either donate to
the charity or go on lo arrange fundraisers to support our charity, all in
memory of their precious baby.
We received 2 significant donations in Dec-24. One from a local choir. as
we were chosen as one of their 'Charilies of the year,, and the other from
a local company as part of their 12 days of Christmas campaign, where
they support charities.
Fundraisers
The charity was able lo generate additional income via fundraisers from
items donated to the charity.
Personal Support
We host a monthly face-to-face support group for anyone impacted by
Baby Loss and continue to provide support via our website and social
media platforms.
The support we provide is more emotional and gives people an
opportunity to speak to someone who has first-hand experience of baby
loss.
Wave of Light Service
On the 15th Ocl-24, we hosted a 'Wave of Light Baby Loss
Remembrance Service, al our local Parish Church in Solihull. which was
very well allended and appreciated.
The Wave of Light is an opportunity to join with other bereaved parents,
families. friends. and people around the globe lo light a candle and come
lo remember all babies and children who have sadly died.
Christmas Crafts Day For Siblings
In Dec-24 we held our 4th Christmas Crafts Day, where bereaved
siblings COLJld come and make special decorations in memory of their
brother or sister that they could lake home for their Christmas Tree. We
do feel that this event is greatly appreciated by those who attend.
