A donation from HIPBMA to a charity helping people after pregnancy, baby or infant loss comes at a time when its support is needed more than ever.

Held In Our Hearts provides free, specialist, trauma-informed, early-intervention Hospital to Home support, specialist counselling and long-term peer support.

Referrals are increasing, with 113 so far this year compared to 63 in the same period in 2025.

The charity’s Hospital to Home worker in the Highlands, Magi, drives the length and breadth of the Highlands visiting bereaved families in their own homes.

The charity says HIPBMA’s donation doesn’t just fund a role, it ensures that year-round, every bereaved family in the community has someone to turn to after their baby dies.

Christina, Head of Fundraising for Held In Our Hearts, said: “We are incredibly grateful to be one of HIPBMA’s charity partners this year.

“At a time when charities are desperately seeking new funding streams and tightening purse strings, partnerships like this are so impactful.

“With referrals continuing to increase, funding for our services has never been more important.

“We are incredibly grateful to HIPBMA for championing our community and getting behind our mission to ensure no one in Scotland faces baby loss alone.

“We are always looking for supporters, corporate partners and fundraisers – please do reach out if you or your business would like to get involved.”

The charity is also to host a Full Moon Firewalk at Daviot Steading on October 25, in collaboration with MikeysLine.

The event features participants walking barefoot across glowing hot coals to raise funds for both lifeline charities.
