During Baby Loss Awareness Week 2026, we’re honouring stories like Rebecca’s and the thousands of women and men who turn to Life Helpline for compassion and support to find a way through their grief.

💙 “I don’t think I realised how much I needed someone just to listen.” 🩷

After six heartbreaking miscarriages, Rebecca found a lifeline through Life’s free Helpline - a safe, compassionate space to talk about her loss, her pain, and her babies - whenever she needed to.

Read Rebecca's story 👉link in the comments.

Your generous and loyal support means that we can continue to be there for women like Rebecca - to listen, to care, and to remind them they are never alone.

Sometimes it's someone listening.

Sometimes it's practical help.

Sometimes it's a safe place to live.

That's why Life provides support through our helpline, supported housing, practical support, outreach and prison projects.

Because support isn't always there...

…and we work to be there.

For women and their families facing circumstances that can feel overwhelming or impossible.

With better support, many babies may not have needed to go into care, File on 4 Investigates is told.

⚠️Trigger Warning: This link includes details of an at home abortion experience which may be distressing⚠️
Hailey took abortion pills, after receiving them in the post, expecting it to be straightforward.

Instead she faced the most difficult experience of her life and faced it alone.

What followed were feelings of loss, anger, and isolation.

Through support from Life's Helpline, Hailey began to process what she had been through and found a way forward.

Hailey's story highlights the vital service Life's Helpline provides for women (and men) who desperately need support following loss, including loss through abortion.

📖Read Hailey's story 👉https://lifecharity.org.uk/news-and-views/an-abortion-at-home-haileys-story/

💬Share it with at least one person - on WhatsApp, social media, email or over a cuppa.

Each share raises awareness of Life's work and could reach someone in need or someone who will become a supporter, enabling Life to be there for women like Hailey when they need someone the most.

Together we can create a world where no one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone.

Nick, who took part in our Pilgrim's Progress to Rome trek in September, said this about Life.

Our entire mission is to 'do' things to meet our clients where they are and give them what they need in their moment or moments of need.

We believe that pregnancy support is one of the most important things we can do as a society and YOU, our supporters, enable us to carry out that mission.

Thank you for your loyalty, advocacy and generosity. We could not do what we do without you!

Earlier this month, Slough House opened its doors for a fantastic Open Day – bringing together local organisations, services and supporters to see more of what we do.

And those connections are already making a difference.

Following the Open Day, our clients will now benefit from weaning packages, books and garden toys kindly offered by the local Baby Bank, ongoing support from the Children’s Family Hub, and visits from the Health Visiting team.

It’s a good reminder of why building strong local relationships matters. The more connected we are with our community, the more opportunities, practical help and ongoing support we can bring to the women and families living in our houses.

A few photos from the day – with lots of help from our clients getting everything ready!
