On the 17th of July 2023, Our Angels were thrilled to announce the beginning of a heartfelt partnership with Petals, the baby loss counselling charity. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in providing essential support to bereaved parents, ensuring they receive the professional help they need during the most challenging times.

Petals is a national charity dedicated to offering specialised counselling services to parents who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby. They work closely with some of the largest NHS trusts in the UK, making a profound impact on the lives of many families. Their mission aligns perfectly with the core values of Our Angels, making this partnership a natural and meaningful fit.

The Heart of Our Mission

At Our Angels, we have always believed that counselling and support are at the very heart of helping parents who find themselves facing the unimaginable loss of a baby. Over the years, we have seen the need for group support evolve, and we recognise that professional, targeted counselling is more crucial than ever. Our collaboration with Petals is a testament to this belief.

A Shared Vision

Our journey to partnering with Petals began with a recommendation from our dedicated bereavement midwife at Harrogate Hospital. Through heartfelt conversations and a deep understanding of the incredible work Petals do, we realised that we had found kindred spirits. Petals’ commitment to providing compassionate, expert counselling resonated deeply with our mission at Our Angels.

Making a Difference Together

In this partnership, Petals will be responsible for delivering the counselling services, while Our Angels will provide the necessary funding. We are proud to announce our first donation of £10,000 to kickstart this vital service. We are confident that this contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of many families, offering them the support and care they so desperately need.
