We provide Memory Boxes to bereaved parents to help gather timeless and precious memories of their child. As a result of consultation with parents, we offer three different sizes of beautiful Memory Boxes, each designed for a specific gestational loss.

Family Rooms

The aim of providing Family Rooms within maternity units is to offer parents the opportunity to spend further precious time with and prepare to say goodbye to their baby in peaceful and private accommodation.

Helping those affected by the loss of a baby

Pregnancy can be one of the most wondrous experiences for a woman. Many women bond with their babies early on in pregnancy, especially when they feel the baby’s first movements and their own bodies begin to show the first signs of the life inside of them. When a woman loses a baby during pregnancy and around the time of birth it can be a very traumatic experience for her, her partner and others close to them.

SiMBA has been supported in its fund raising efforts by many individuals, organisations and businesses. The families who have suffered the loss of a baby have been instrumental in their support and SiMBA endeavour to be ‘reactive’ to their needs. SiMBA was founded by a team of dedicated individuals in October 2005 in response to the needs of those affected by the loss of a baby during pregnancy or close to the time of birth. SiMBA was officially registered as a Scottish Charity in 2007.

The support from SIMBA in developing the Butterfly and Family Rooms within the Neonatal Unit of the Royal Hospital for Children at the QEUH, Glasgow has been invaluable in creating a dignified environment for parents and families to spend precious time together with their baby before and after death. Such time and memories can never be replaced.
