At such an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time, we would like to send our deepest thanks to the family of Kevin Michael Morrissey.

In the midst of their own grief, they have shown extraordinary kindness and generosity by thinking of other families who have experienced the devastating loss of a child. In loving memory of Kevin Michael Morrissey, they have made a donation to support our work.

This beautiful gesture speaks volumes about Kevin and the love that surrounds him. Their compassion during such sorrow is truly humbling, and it means more to us than words can ever fully express.

Please know that we are holding Kevin’s family close in our thoughts and hearts. We are so deeply grateful for their support, and we will honour Kevin’s memory through the work we continue to do for bereaved families.

With heartfelt thanks 🤍

Today is Day, a gentle reminder that the smallest conversation can make the biggest difference.

At The Phoebe Hoskin Trust, we know how powerful talking can be — whether it’s sharing memories of a precious child, reaching out when you’re struggling, or simply letting someone know they’re not alone. Grief, love, and healing all deserve space, and sometimes that starts with just a few brave words.
Today, we encourage you to:

Check in with someone who might need it
Share something you’ve been holding quietly
Listen without judgement
Give yourself permission to speak, feel, and remember ❤️❤️🥰

This is a special opportunity for all families to come and add their baby’s name to the tree as a loving tribute during the holiday season. 💖

🌿 A heartfelt thank you to NC Tree Surgery for their incredible support of the Forever & Always Garden.

Not only did they generously provide woodchip to help us prepare the space, they also donated £250 towards items for the garden — helping us create a peaceful, welcoming sanctuary for families to visit, reflect, and remember.

Thanks to their kindness, the garden is really coming to life. Every contribution brings us closer to making it a truly special place for those navigating child loss or serious illness. We’re so grateful to have NC Tree Surgery by our side.
💜 Thank you for helping us build something beautiful — together.

We are unbelievably grateful to the Bodmin Walking Netball Team for organising such a fantastic event in support of The Phoebe Hoskin Trust.

Thanks to your kindness, energy, and incredible community spirit, you’ve raised an outstanding amount — funds that will go directly towards creating memory boxes and NG tube care packages for families facing the heartbreak of child loss or serious illness. These resources bring comfort, dignity, and love to families during the most difficult times, and your support makes that possible.

A heartfelt thank you to Carole Hoskin for her ongoing support of the charity — your belief in our mission continues to make a lasting difference, and we’re so grateful to have you by our side.

To everyone who played, volunteered, donated, or cheered from the side-lines: thank you. You are helping us ensure that no family walks this path alone. 🥰🥰

Why support matters
This is why we want to help as many families as we can

Offering support to a family grieving the loss of a child is not merely an act of kindness; it's an act of profound empathy and recognition of their immense pain. Here are some reasons why your support is so vital:

Easing the Burden: Grief is exhausting. Simple tasks become monumental challenges. Your support can alleviate some of these burdens, allowing the family to focus on healing.

Providing a Safe Space: Grief can feel isolating. Knowing that others are there to listen without judgment, to offer a shoulder to cry on, creates a safe space for the family to process their emotions.

Honouring the Child's Memory: Talking about the child, sharing memories, and acknowledging their life helps to keep their spirit alive. Your willingness to remember and celebrate their life is a precious gift.

Offering Practical Help: From meals and childcare to errands and household chores, practical assistance can make a tangible difference in the family's day-to-day lives.

Sustaining Hope: While the pain of loss may never fully disappear, your support can help to sustain hope for the future, reminding the family that they are not alone and that healing is possible.

🌟 **Baby Loss Awareness Week – First Night Reflections** 🌟

We feel so incredibly lucky to have spent the first night of Baby Loss Awareness Week surrounded by so many outstanding families. Listening to your stories, hearing about your beautiful children, and witnessing the strength and love you carry was truly humbling.

Thank you to everyone who came and helped us say our babies’ names out loud — it was a powerful and emotional moment that we’ll never forget.

We even had a special animal friend join us — a deer appeared nearby, and although we tried to capture a photo, it was just too quick! A gentle reminder of nature’s quiet presence during such meaningful moments.

A huge thank you to Matt from the NHS charity, who has done an amazing job lighting up the hospital in pink and blue — it looks absolutely beautiful and means so much to so many.

Together, we remember. 💗💙
