Baby Loss Retreat was established in 2018 and aims to relieve the emotional and psychological suffering of parents, individuals and families who have suffered a bereavement following a stillborn, neonatal death, miscarriage, IVF or medical termination by providing counselling, trauma therapy and respite. The aim of the support we provide is to help people to deal with trauma so that they are better able cope with everyday life.
We have helped over 750 parents in the past 6 years from counselling sessions, Listening music therapy, Support groups and 2 days away at a retreat.
Our Retreats are not owned by the charity. We use local family run businesses who buy into the idea for parents to get away. Issue we have is with more and more parents coming to us through referrals we cant manage the retreats. The charity have a project for 2024 to raise funds to own our own retreat. The charity have looked at several locations in Scotland, which has to be peaceful and tranquil for the parents. We really need funds to purchase this at a cost of £200,000.
This will give the charity more management when parents need to get away as there is various events happening like birthdays and due dates where the parents need time away to reflect and talk as a couple
