Donate a Bear in Memory

Many parents who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly afterwards, find comfort in receiving the gift of an Aching Arms bear and often they will go on to dedicate a bear in honour of their baby. The bear you donate will be gifted to another bereaved family which extends the arm of friendship and helps other bereaved parents to know they are not alone.

Give in Memory

Leave a lasting legacy of love, by donating to Aching Arms in remembrance of someone special to you. Your special gift will help us to offer comfort and support to the many bereaved families who sadly need our support. You may wish to organise a funeral collection in aid of Aching Arms, some supporters request donations in lieu of flowers or set up an online In Memory Page, where family and friends can make a donation in honour of your loved one.

Whatever is the most fitting for you - thank you for creating such a thoughtful and caring tribute. Your kindness will bring comfort to other bereaved families and help them to know they are not alone.

Leave a Gift in your Will

A gift in your will to Aching Arms will enable us to continue to provide the vital support that we offer to parents whose baby has died. There are three different ways you can leave a gift to Aching Arms.

A cash gift when you leave a specific amount of money.
A specific gift which may be any item of value, such as jewellery or shares.
A residuary gift where, after providing for loved ones, you leave a share of what remains.

Aching Arms depends on the generosity of voluntary donations so your gift, however big or small, will always be appreciated.

If you have not made a will, we recommend that you always use a solicitor and if you are considering making a gift to Aching Arms and require any further information, please get in touch with Neal Long at info@achingarms.org.uk.
