However we do carry out a substantial amount of work with Warrington Hospital, and are always looking for ways to expand our support network throughout the UK. Indeed, the support forum has given support to members from all across the UK and Worldwide. The organisation was founded in 2006, starting life as an online support forum for bereaved families. The forum is still an integral part of what we do, and is available 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week for grieving parents to read and post messages, giving and receiving support. In 2007, Life After Loss was granted Charitable Status by HMRC. We believe that by offering support and friendship to each other, parents whose lives have been devastated by the loss of a baby can begin to heal and to pick up the pieces of their broken lives.
