Aching Arms is a national charity that supports bereaved parents after the loss of their baby whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or soon after. We provide our Aching Arms comfort bears to over 190 hospitals across the UK (as well as hospices, support groups and funeral directors).
We also post our bears directly to parents who request them via our website. Along with the bears we also provide hospitals with a well being and support journal for bereaved fathers.
We also host the Supporting Arms Service. This is a helpline in which bereaved parents and their family can speak to someone who has an understanding of what they’re going through.
The service consists of a monthly virtual support group for dads and our Be Together programme where we get bereaved families together.
