Each year, around 800 babies are born in Jersey and for most, pregnancy is a joyous experience, bringing new life into the world. But some families do not get to take their much-wanted babies home and instead they are left with heartbreak.
Memories matter, we really know how important they are. To that end, we gift bespoke memory boxes, offer a listening ear and hold an annual remembrance service to anyone who needs comfort.
The wish that many bereaved parents have is that others shouldn’t suffer the same experience. From that wish, the charity began its ‘Safer Pregnancy Projects’ to improve outcomes for Jersey babies.
- 120+ memory boxes each year, ranging from early loss through to children up to 18 years of age.
- Monthly group support meetings
- 1 to 1 support
- Donate to support professional bereavement counselling
- Donate 800 ‘Safer Pregnancy’ wallets each year, given out after the 12 week pregnancy scan
- Purchase antenatal equipment and
- Fund professional training
The help, love and support from Philip’s Footprints gave my husband and I a starting point when we had no idea how to navigate the trauma of losing our much wanted daughter.
