SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 We currently provide dolls to 44 hospitals and
hospices in England, Scotland, The Isle of Man
and Ireland.
We have chosen dolls because throughout
history, they have been fundamental in getng
children to talk about distressing topics through
the magic of doll therapy. We want to help more
children try to understand and talk about their
bereavement.
The dolls are sourced from a fair trade provider,
we provide boy and girl dolls in muliple
ethnicites so all children can choose a doll they
identfy with.
We have received positve feedback from
bereavement midwife teams and from families
who have received dolls.
