Donate
Thank you for considering donating to OWF. The generosity of our supporters helps to fund the work we do. Your help is greatly appreciated. Raising awareness is so important to reach out to those who are bereaved.
OWF is a local Registered Charity (1169892) run by trustees who have personally experienced the pain and emptiness of personally leaving the hospital without their much wanted baby or knows and has supported someone close to them who has.
Our aim is to raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss and bring some comfort to bereaved parents and their families after the loss of a baby.
How to Donate
You can make a one off donation or a regular donation to OWF. If you are a UK tax payer don't forget to Gift Aid the donation. This will increase your donation by 25%.
By making a donation you can be assured that you will be making a huge difference to those grieving their baby or babies. Donating to us is quick and easy.
You can do so via our JustGiving page. We are truly grateful for your support.
If you would like to know if your workplace or business can make a difference please pop us an email.
Whether it’s a one-off donation that you are making or if you are pledging a monthly gift, we promise that the donation you make to our projects today will be used to help a bereaved family.
We can hand on heart tell you that every single penny makes a huge difference – no matter how big or small. We know that it is gifted with care and that is what matters – so THANK YOU.
The donation that you make could provide specialist counselling sessions, gift a precious Love-a-Bear Memory Bear, or pay for Care Packs to provide dignity to those spending time in our refurbished rooms at the hospital.
Because of your kind donation today it literally could change someone’s feeling of support and care at the most devastating time in their life.
