Aching Arms

Bringing comfort and support to bereaved families following baby loss.


Aching Arms offers comfort and support to bereaved families when they have experienced the heartbreking loss of their baby - during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly after. We are proud to work with over 200 NHS hosptials across the UK where midwives and nurses offer our comfort teddy bears to bereaved parents in their care.

We offer a telephone, text, email and video-call support bereavement service to anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby.  

How Your Support Helps

Thank you for joining #TeamAchingArms, our dedicated Community and Events fundraising team will be on hand to help support you with your fundraising efforts and guide you with your challenge event. 

Every penny raised in aid of Aching Arms, goes towards our vital work of supporting bereaved parents, families and anyone affected by pregnancy and baby loss.
