activities, projects or

to purposes are as follows:
Provision of handmade gowns and hand
knitted blankets in neutral colours which
are specifically sized for tiny babies, mainly
but not exclusively, second-trimester
babies. Carefully wrapped in tissue paper
and beautifully presented in a white box.
These clothing packs enable parents to
fulfil one of their basic needs – to be able
to clothe their newborn baby lovingly and
sensitively. The gown is designed to simply
wrap around baby’s delicate body without
causing harm to delicate skin and the
blanket to drape across the baby. A
duplicate gown and blanket is provided for
the family to take home as a keepsake.
Robyn’s Tiny Angel Gowns delivers agreed
numbers of clothing packs to participating
maternity units which are then offered to
bereaved parents by staff members.
Working with participating maternity units
and professionals raises awareness
around the importance of helping bereaved
parents provide as much of their baby’s
care as appropriate. Being able to clothe
their baby with love, sensitivity, and ease.
Recruiting and engaging with volunteer
knitters aims to also provide a degree of
therapeutic benefit to those volunteers
where appropriate.| |Statement confirming
