Daisy Suite Appeal

Thanks to your support, we’ve now exceeded our £150,000 target to enhance bereavement care for those experiencing the loss of a baby at Northampton General Hospital. Although we have reached our target, we are continuing to fundraise for maternity bereavement services across University Hospitals of Northamptonshire to help us to do even more.

Creating a dedicated space for those affected by maternity bereavement at Northampton General Hospital

The Daisy Suite Appeal aims to create a private, compassionate space to provide emotional and practical support from Bereavement Midwives in a more suitable, dedicated environment.

Why this appeal matters  

Currently, people returning for follow-up appointments after the loss of a baby must revisit the maternity day unit and wards, the same places where they first received the heartbreaking news. This can make an already difficult time even more distressing. The Daisy Suite will provide a dedicated, calm space where parents can talk with clinical teams in privacy and feel supported away from the busy ward environment.

 

Thank you to Rosie Wrighting, MP for Kettering for raising this in Parliament

Each year, we support over 100 families through the heartbreak of losing their baby. Having a dedicated space for follow-up care will make such a difference, providing a safe and compassionate environment when families need it most.
