You have probably found our website because you or someone you know has lost a baby, and for that we are truly sorry. This happens much more than people think. 15 babies are stillborn or die soon after birth in the UK every day through complications, miscarriage, SIDs or illness and it is a devastating, life changing event. In October 2010 this happened to us, and the devastation and feelings of isolation gave us the momentum and drive to help provide much needed  care and support to help other families who find themselves in this terrible position.

We have set up Abbie’s Fund in memory of our daughter Abbie, to raise money to provide memory boxes for the Maternity Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary’s Women and Children’s Hospital, to give to parents who have also lost babies. Through the process of putting together our memory box for Abbie in the days and weeks following her death we have been able to create memory boxes, complete with keepsakes, that can be given to parents at the start of this journey. We hope these boxes help to provide some comfort and support.

For us, providing this service helps us achieve something positive and allows Abbie’s memory to live on.
