Story

Following on from the successful Born Sleeping Appeal and working together with Hereford Sands and Lola's Legacy the vision is to create an area to allow families time and space outside of the hospital building to make memories with their babies.

The garden will also provide a place to spend a quite moment for reflection or simply a place to visit and remember previous babies lost too soon.

This has been a dream for many years for bereaved families and this Autumn it will be come a reality.

Although the Born Sleeping Appeal closed in 2019, the ring-fenced charitable fund has continued and has been the funding source for many new initiatives within the maternity department such as a new online counselling service and a pram to allow parents the opportunity to push their baby out of the maternity department; the garden will provide a place to take babies to and spend time together outside of the main hospital building.
