Heartbeat: Baby loss awareness event at Birmingham Treatment Centre

October 17, 2018

Our bereavement support midwifes hosted a special event to raise the profile of baby loss awareness week, which took place earlier this month.

Every year, thousands of people in the UK are affected by the death of a baby or experience pregnancy loss. This week aims to recognise the detrimental impact that the loss of a baby can have on a family.

The event was hosted at Birmingham Treatment Centre where a cake sale was held to raise money for the bereavement fund of your Trust Charity which supports our bereaved families.

Specialist Midwife for Bereavement Support, Mary Molloy said “We and our dedicated colleagues are very passionate about providing individual care and support to bereaved families at the most devastating time of their life.

“We cannot take their pain away but the support and guidance can help the families to create special memories that will last a life time.”

The Mayor of Sandwell, Councillor Joy Edis joined representatives from SANDS and Lili Mae Foundation at the event.

Midwife, Ann Minto said: “We’re honoured the Mayor of Sandwell, Councillor Joy Edis has selected our bereavement services and the neonatal unit as her chosen charity of the year and we’re delighted to have welcomed her to our event for baby loss awareness week.”
