Thanks to a fantastic fundraising challenge by Dan Graham, 50 additional Willow’s Rainbow Boxes have now been donated to our maternity bereavement team. In September 2025, Dan travelled from Medway Maritime Hospital to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle using only public bus services, a journey that took just over 18 hours, to raise funds for families experiencing pregnancy after loss. 🫶
The charity Willow’s Rainbow Box was founded by Amneet Graham following her own experience of pregnancy after loss in 2018, during which she felt isolated and overwhelmed by anxiety and worry. She created the charity so that no one else would have to go through this experience without support.
The Rainbow Boxes are offered to families who become pregnant again after the loss of a baby. They are designed to help reduce anxiety, provide reassurance, and support emotional wellbeing during what can be an incredibly complex and emotional time.
Each box includes a journal, affirmation and mindfulness cards, creative and calming activities, partner information, and a communication card that families can use to let healthcare professionals know that they may need additional emotional support during pregnancy.
These additional 50 boxes mean that even more families at Medway can now access vital support through our maternity bereavement team. 🥰
