We have been supporting parents, families and whanau in the greater Wellington region for over 23 years. We are volunteers but most importantly we are bereaved parents paying it forward. We provide support by phone, email, Facebook and in person; run support meetings in the community; provide Moses baskets, clothing and memory making items to Wellington and Hutt hospitals; and run training events for health and caring professionals.

More about us

We are a volunteer, non-profit organisation that supports parents and families following pregnancy, baby or infant loss. We provide support by phone, email and in person, run support meetings in the community, give out resources and information, raise awareness, provide memory making materials to Wellington and Hutt hospitals, and run training for health and caring professionals. We appreciate any and all support so that we may pay it forward to other bereaved parents.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
