Whilst the specialised support we offer is person centred and there for as long as family needs, we will always recognise when we need to signpost families to other charities, whether that be to find support for siblings or a family whose bereavement isn’t able to be supported by us. We never wish to see anyone have to go it alone. We want to make sure bereaved families are getting the right support they need from the right people, and we recognise when other third sector organisations already offer something which may be beneficial to one of our families. For example, we will often refer families so they can have a quiet getaway at Poppy’s Place through Anam Cara Fasgadh or for sibling support we might suggest Child Bereavement UK or Crocus Highland. We welcome the chance to work collaboratively with other bereavement charities and third sector organisations as we believe there is no benefit in duplicating a service for the sake of it if one is already in place and working well elsewhere. We like to dovetail services wherever possible and welcome the chance to offer bereaved families well rounded and joined up support. Together we can make a difference to families who have experienced the death of their baby or young child - together, we care. #BLAW24 #BLAW #togetherwecare #babylossawarenessweek #pregnancyloss
