SiMBA charity facing closure due to soaring costs and shortfall in much-needed funding

A charity that supports those affected by baby loss is facing closure within months due to 'spiralling costs'.

SiMBA provides support for bereaved parents who have lost a baby at any stage of their pregnancy or around the time of birth. This includes creating memory boxes to help them gather timeless memories and providing family rooms within maternity units to offer parents the time to say goodbye to their babies.

Since launching in 2005, the charity has supported thousands of families during their critical time of loss but due to spiralling costs and a significant shortfall in fundraising, it is now facing closure in as little as three months.
