Funerals are arranged in partnership with Co-op Funeral Care in Kettering and Warren Hill Crematorium, and families consistently report that the service provides comfort and support. Warren Hill Crematorium have also supported our Twinkling Stars Appeal for many years and we are grateful for their ongoing support.
The KGH bereavement team also runs Rainbow Clinics, offering ongoing support to families expecting another baby following a loss. The charity helps these families by funding Rainbow Bags, thoughtfully prepared with essential newborn items and decorated rainbow sleep suits, providing both practical support and reassurance during a time often marked by anxiety.
As part of Baby Loss Awareness Week, members of the public are invited to a special Memorial Service on Wednesday 15th October at 6.30pm St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Kettering, offering a space to remember and share experiences with others who have been affected.
Northamptonshire Health Charity is proud to support projects like these that go above and beyond NHS funding, enhancing care and support for families during challenging times.

I would like to say a big thank you to Northamptonshire Health Charity and all their fundraisers for making this possible. Without their support, we would not be able to offer this service at such a difficult time.Victoria Oxby, Bereavement Midwife at KGH
