Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

Within the Otago region, approximately 40 babies die in utero or within a short period of time after birth per year. Local research and personal experience has shown that there is a significant need for parents of very young babies to be offered a way to remember them. The Trust will provide a remembrance package to families at no cost to the families, who face a neo natal or early post natal death. By doing such we hope to assist in the grieving process and provide a life long memory.
