Hi all, if you remember some years ago 5 of us more elderly supporters cycled from Sixways to Newcastle Rugby Club over 300miles in aid of Acorns. We were known as the
Granddads for Acorns
We raised a fantastic amount of money the vast majority coming from members of this forum, we raised over £25,000!!
Well it is now time for the younger generation to gave a go - my daughter.
Alex and 3 other ladies, now known as The Kili-Billies, are going to climb Kilimajaro the highest mountain in Africa in Aid of
The Worcestershire Maternity Bereavement Suite
Quote:Nurse Trudy who runs the department
For most people, losing a baby is the worst thing that they can imagine.
Worcestershire Royal Hospital (WRH) currently provides limited bereavement services to help families in our county come to terms with the loss of their baby. We met Trudy, a specialist Bereavement Support Midwife at WRH.
It is sad that such a specialism even exists but, every day, people like Trudy and the facilities they provide help a family in our community.
Trudy explained: “Your donations are so hugely important.
When the existing suite is unavailable it not so easy to create the right environment. Families definitely go home a lot quicker and this sometimes creates regrets and guilt later on in life.
It really upsets me when families are unable to use the bereavement suite because I know it can make such a difference”.
Unfortunately, Trudy and the team at Worcestershire Royal Hospital don’t have the resources or the facilities to help every family that needs their help.
Every month they are forced to turn grieving parents away. .
WRFC and Warriors Rugby are both helping and supporting the fund raising along with Tescos.
What can we do??
