National Maternity Support Foundation Bereavement Care
Health
We want to ensure that bereavement care training is available to our local specialist midwives.
About this cause
National Maternity Support Foundation (NMSF), also known as Jake's Charity was set up following the tragic stillbirth of Jake Canter due to the nearest hospital maternity unit being closed. NMSF's founding principles are to take a 'proactive educative approach' to maternity care. NMSF's five key objectives as follows:- 1. Campaign to help keep maternity services available, accessible, safe and well resourced; 2. Ensure that prospective parents have all the information needed to make informed decisions; 3. Being a resource for others to obtain information and support; 4. Support and promote, in partnership with other organisations, further research into stillbirth and neonatal death; 5. Ensure there is adequate bereavement care available whenever it is required.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Every time a family loses their much-wanted baby it is tragic. Families say that at this time high quality care and support can make an enormous difference to them. It is absolutely essential that such support is available to every family whenever it is needed.
