We are a group of volunteers offering help and support to bereaved parents in the Brighton and Worthing area.

As bereaved parents ourselves, we understand the unique pain of losing a baby - the loss of a precious life and the shattering of hopes and dreams - and the confusion and isolation that sometimes accompanies that loss. We have found that often just having someone to talk to who has shared a similar experience can help bereaved parents to feel less isolated and to deal with the confusing emotions they typically experience.

We're part of a national charity called Sands - the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society - which supports anyone affected by the death of a baby and works to reduce the number of stillbirths and neonatal deaths in the UK. 

We urgently require volunteer befrienders in the Brighton and Worthing area. Find out how you could become a befriender.
