Frances Day's Coffee Social for SANDS
Frances Day Bridal is raising money for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity
Story
Every year we try to do something for a charity that is close to one of our brides hearts. This year as a team we unanimously wanted to reach out to FDB alumni Hollie.
Hollie and her partner heartbreakingly lost their son Finlay through neonatal loss in February last year. When Hollie’s waters broke prematurely at 32 weeks, Finlay was delivered by emergency caesarian section and unfortunately became infected with a severe case of e.coli. He lived for 15 hours and died in Hollie’s arms in the hospital.
Everything raised will be lovingly donated to SANDS, a charity offering a lifeline to so many families and bereaved couples. All donations accepted during the event.
We are delighted that The Old Vicarage, Southwell will be hosting the social.
Everyone welcome,
See you there, Team FDB & TOV x
It’s been a lifeline for us, from the support online and information through the hospital, as well as the monthly meetings, where we’ve met other bereaved couples - Hollie x
Sands exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support.
Sands works in partnership with health care professionals, trusts and health boards and offers a range of training programmes and bereavement care resources to ensure that every bereaved parent and family receives the best possible care wherever they are in the UK.
