Nottingham baby loss charity faces closure if £50,000 funding not found

A baby loss charity that has supported over 1,000 families across Nottingham says they will be forced to close if they don't find enough funding. SiMBA says it will have to close its doors in three months if they cannot raise £50,000.

The charity, which supports bereaved parents during baby loss, was established in 2005. They have supported more than 50,000 individuals and families across the UK and Ireland providing them with invaluable support during their critical time of loss.

SiMBA works with hospitals including Nottingham University Hospital and Queen’s Medical Centre. The combination of a surge in requests for Memory Boxes from hospitals across the UK in 2022, a significant shortfall in expected fundraising income, and soaring costs of producing, distributing, and donating them, has left the charity running desperately low on funds.
