The Declan John Foundation has been created to offer comfort and emotional support to parents and their families who have suffered the devastating impact of baby loss.

There is nothing that can take away the pain felt when you do not get to take your baby home from the hospital. Our aim is to raise money to fund various items which will be donated to hospitals across England and given to bereaved parents and their families to offer comfort and support.

In particular, we have teamed up with a luxury candle maker to offer a bespoke baby loss candle to hospitals. The candles are passed to bereaved parents when leaving the hospital for them to light when they get home and to remember that their baby is always with them.

Some bereaved parents, if given the option, may choose to spend time in the hospital with their baby after loss. We understand how precious this time can be and therefore aim to donate items such as clothing and plaques to hospitals. Those items are offered to bereaved parents who may choose to use them when spending time with their baby, taking photos and creating precious memories.

Finally, we also provide baby loss books to parents and siblings to help with the healing process.
