Baby Loss Awareness: Mission Statement.

 

Baby Loss Awareness is formed from designated representatives of the following Charities and Baby Loss Groups:

• ARC (Antenatal Results and Choices). Registered Charity No: 299770
• Babyloss. A voluntary organisation, www.babyloss.com
• The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust. Registered Charity No: 1071811
• The Miscarriage Association. Registered Charity No: 1076829
• Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. Registered Charity No: 299679

Each group offers support and information in their own areas of expertise, for anyone personally affected by pregnancy or baby loss and/or those caring for them.

Baby Loss Awareness exists to: 

• Promote October 15th as National Baby Loss Awareness Day* within the UK.
• Promote the annual “Global Wave of Light”* events and services where parents can acknowledge their losses.
• Promote awareness and understanding of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss among health and social care workers and the community at large.

Baby Loss Awareness will ensure that all income generated through fundraising activities undertaken for Baby Loss Awareness will be allocated first to cover the costs incurred in promoting Baby Loss Awareness and thereafter any surplus will be distributed equally between the participating organisations.

Baby Loss Awareness is not a registered Charity in its own right. 

* Baby Loss Awareness Day, including the “Wave of Light” events and services, are products devised as a result of collaboration involving the support charities/organisations operating in the area of pregnancy and baby loss. The work of each charity/organisation is promoted without preference at all times.
