The maternity ward in any hospital is generally one of the happiest places to be. However unfortunately this is not always the case. At Kettering General Hospital we pride ourselves on giving women the best care at every stage of their visit and this is all the more important when they experience a pregnancy loss.

At present we have a dedicated room in the Delivery Suite where we care for families. However this isn't purpose built. Through our taxes we pay for the NHS, however funding only stretches so far. Although we can be incredibly proud of our health service, we can't sit back and say our work is done.

To improve the holistic care we give to women and their families who sadly experience the loss of their baby, we plan to build a specialised unit. This will be adjacent to our current Delivery Suite and will provide these families with one to one dedicated care. This unit will have a delivery room, a quiet room, a family room with kitchen and bathroom and an office to enable our specialised Bereavement Team to work closely with these families.

This is where we need your help. We need to create and build this dedicated facility in which we can care for and support our families. This facility will mean that our dedicated staff can give one to one care to the families who sadly have to use it.

Thank you so much for your donation.
