    • As a Health Visitor, I have relied on The Lullaby Trust for evidence based, sensible advice to share with parents and carers throughout my career. As a professional I value all that The Lullaby Trust has done and continues to do to promote safe sleeping. It has been a privilege to give back to a cause that has given me so much support.

    • I found The Lullaby Trust to help me do things for other parents in a lost situation. The walk with my amazing family gave us time to think and remember our darling Isabelle. Raising money to help other families is something that gives me happiness and a sense of remembering Isabelle, and all other babies and parents!

    • Following the loss of my son Oscar in 2016, I have always wanted to repay my gratitude for the help and support my family received in our time of need, armed with a want to improve my mental wellbeing and physical health...Knowing the fantastic work The Lullaby Trust do we agreed we would complete a 10,000 metre swim to raise much deserved funds so that other families can continue to be supported.

    • We’re a very close family so Ríoghnach’s death hit everyone hard. Ríoghnach has an older sister and four big cousins who adore and love her to pieces. Ríoghnach’s passing devastated the whole family and I found making a MuchLoved page to raise money for The Lullaby Trust was a helpful way to support my sister while also spreading awareness in Ríoghnach’s name.
