Raise for Rainbows
To celebrate our 5th birthday as a registered charity, we launched our BIGGEST fundraising campaign yet – Raise for Rainbows! This campaign launched on 5th December 2024 and is ongoing.
​
The idea is simple: with this campaign, we are encouraging people to raise funds to put a stock of our pregnancy after loss comfort boxes into one of the NHS units on our waiting list.Â
​
Raising £330 funds 25 boxes. And raising £430 funds 50 boxes! (This includes postage.)
​
If you'd like to sign up, email us at: hello@willowsrainbowbox.co.uk
Why?
Our comfort boxes for families pregnant after loss are essentially a toolbox to help through the pregnancy after loss journey. We have tools such as:
-
An A5 journal and pen – for logging all those thoughts/appointments/feelings
-
Hope and Support card deck – a pack of 9 cards with mindfulness techniques and positive affirmations – created with an NHS Occupational Therapist with lived experience of loss and also a team of Clinical Psychologists at ‘The Kind Mind.’
-
Information leaflets from other organisations.
-
An A5 rainbow print
-
A5 colouring page with pencils
-
Crochet kit
-
Business card resource to show healthcare professionals you’re pregnant after loss
-
A signposting leaflet to our resource online for dads and other parents in pregnancy after loss.
​
We have had lovely feedback from those who have had their boxes directly from us and also from the hospitals that have received limited stocks from us. We have a growing interest from NHS maternity units, rainbow clinics and perinatal mental health teams – and we want to raise funds through this campaign to help supply boxes to some of these units.
