The Lily Mae Foundation
The Lily Mae Foundation is here to help and support Parents and Families that have been affected by the death of a baby to Stillbirth, Neonatal Death or Medical Termination. Today, 15 babies will die; all the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This statistic is showing no signs of decreasing and for every stillborn or neonatal death there is a family that is devastated following the loss of their baby.
Despite its frequency, there is very little public perception of the devastating impact of Stillbirth, Neonatal Death & Medical Termination on parents, their families and friends. Working alongside Medical & Healthcare Professionals, other Charities and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Babyloss, we want to be recognised as the main provider of bereavement support for families who have lost a baby to Stillbirth, Neonatal Death or Medical Termination in the West Midlands.
The Foundation offers many forms of support for Parents, Families and Friends following the loss of a baby to Stillbirth or Neonatal Death.
