Bereaved dads and partners are needed to help us better understand their experiences of care following pregnancy and baby loss.

Our Experience of Care Survey is due to close soon, but currently the voices of dads and partners are missing - with most of the responses so far from mothers.

Can you help us to reach more dads and partners? We really want to make sure their experiences are heard so we can use this to better understand how maternity and neonatal services are supporting them and where improvements are needed.

Why do we need to make sure dads and partners have their voices heard? We'll use the findings from this survey to inform future Sands’ research, strengthen our campaigning, influence policymakers and support the training of healthcare professionals.

Please share with dads and partners, and with groups of bereaved men.

What a brilliant night! Thank you to baby Olivia's family and shavington club!

❤️ **A HUGE THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE AT SHAVINGTON CLUB ❤️**

We are truly overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude as we proudly announce that, following the incredible success of last night’s charity night in loving memory of **Olivia Grace, we have raised an absolutely amazing £5,498!** 🩷

It is difficult to put into words just how much this means. The generosity, kindness and support shown by everyone who attended, donated, contributed prizes and helped make the evening so special has been nothing short of incredible. To see so many people come together for such a meaningful cause has truly warmed our hearts.

The sheer number of prizes donated, the generosity of local businesses and individuals, and the love shown throughout the evening are a beautiful testament to just how deeply little Olivia Grace has touched so many lives in the short time she was here with us. Although her time on this earth was heartbreakingly short, the love she has left behind is immeasurable, and it was so special to see that love reflected in every single act of kindness throughout the night. 💗

From the bottom of our hearts, everyone at **Shavington Club** would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks to **Katie, Tom and the rest of Olivia’s wonderful family** for placing their trust in us to host this special evening in Olivia’s memory. We cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak you have endured, and we feel truly honoured to have been able to play a small part in bringing people together to celebrate Olivia’s life and help support such an important cause. Thank you for allowing us to be part of something so meaningful.

A huge thank you must also go to **Sammy and Acrylic**, who provided the very best entertainment and helped make the evening such a fantastic success. Your time, effort and talent helped create a wonderful atmosphere, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

We would also like to thank every single person who attended, purchased raffle tickets, donated prizes, contributed money, helped behind the scenes or supported the event in any way. Whether your contribution was big or small, please know that it all made a difference. **£5,498 is an incredible achievement, and every single person who played a part should feel immensely proud.** Without your generosity and support, none of this would have been possible.

Most importantly, this money will help make a real and lasting difference to families facing some of the darkest and most heartbreaking moments imaginable. It will help support families who are about to embark on a journey no parent or family should ever have to face, while also helping to ensure that families like Olivia’s can access the vital bereavement support they so desperately need when navigating life after the loss of a precious child.

No amount of money can take away the pain of losing a loved one, but knowing that this generosity can provide comfort, understanding and support to families when they need it most makes every penny raised so incredibly worthwhile.

Last night was about so much more than fundraising. It was about love, community, compassion and coming together to ensure that Olivia Grace’s memory continues to make a difference in the lives of others. Her little life has inspired so much kindness, and the impact of that kindness will continue long beyond the evening itself.

**Olivia Grace, you may have been with us for far too short a time, but your little life has brought so many people together and will continue to help other families for years to come. Your memory will live on through every family supported, every life touched and every act of kindness inspired in your name.** 🩷🦋

From everyone at Shavington Club, thank you, thank you, thank you. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and we will never underestimate the power of a community united by love.

**£5,498 raised, countless hearts touched, and one very special little girl remembered forever.** ❤️

💜 Annual Remembrance Service 2026 💜

The Midwives at Macclesfield Maternity Unit warmly invite families who have experienced the loss of a baby to join us for our Annual Remembrance Service.

This is a special opportunity to come together to remember and honour the babies who will always hold a place in our hearts. 🦋💜

📅 Thursday 15th October 2026
📍 St Michael’s Church, Market Place, Macclesfield

The service is open to families who have experienced loss through miscarriage, termination for medical reasons, stillbirth or sudden infant death.

The service is Christian in nature, but all religions, beliefs and those of no faith are warmly welcome. There is no expectation to participate in any religious elements, simply come as you are, if you would like to remember your baby alongside other families.
