Our founder Gail and our volunteer Emma are braving the cold sea this New Year’s Eve at Golden Sands on Whitehaven Harbour.

Please show your support and appreciation and click on our GoFundMe link to donate.

Everything we raise goes towards running our ongoing peer support sessions, chaperone services and events helping everyone affected by miscarriage and baby loss at any stage.

There is nothing like us locally that provides this kind of support for all walks and types of loss.

We will have collection tins on the day also for those wanting to cash donate on the day. Would be lovely to see you come and support us and all the other brave people raising for other amazing and much needed charities and community services.

We go in the sea at 10:30am!

Thank you 🙏

We can finally announce that 2026’s charity football match will be played on the pitch at Brunton Park – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto an iconic ground and play for an incredibly meaningful cause.

This match isn’t about ability or fitness. It’s about brotherhood, remembrance, and showing that even through loss, no dad has to walk alone. Whether football has always been part of your life or it’s been years since you last kicked a ball, you are welcome.

By pulling on the shirt, you’ll be helping raise awareness, break the silence around baby loss, and honour the children we carry in our hearts every day.

If you’re a dad who has been affected by baby loss and you’d like to be part of the team at Brunton Park, please comment below or send us a private message. 💙⚽

Together, we remember. Together, we play.

Together We are looking to connect with people who have experienced loss to complete a short, confidential questionnaire. 💛

Your voice and experiences can help shape better understanding and support for those navigating grief and healing.

If you’ve been through loss and feel comfortable sharing, please take a few moments to take part — your input truly makes a difference. 💬
