Baby Loss Awareness Week is a time for everyone in the baby loss community and beyond to come together, to remember our much-loved and missed babies, and raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.
Following their loss, families find themselves on a new path they never expected to be on. This year, Baby Loss Awareness Week focuses on the steps along that journey, and how they are different for everyone.
We are delighted to announce that NatWest Group will be proudly supporting Baby Loss Awareness Week for a fourth consecutive year in partnership with Sands through its employee-led HomeLife Network.
“Baby Loss Awareness Week has a simple yet profound objective to connect, support and heal together.
This week means a lot to me as someone who struggled with fertility first-hand. I’m thankful for the partnership between Sands and NatWest Group’s Homelife Employee Led Network and the support they continue to provide.”
Katie Murray, CFO of the NatWest Group
