Charity of the Year Partnerships
If you’re the kind of big-hearted, socially conscious company which chooses a charity of the year, or if you are thinking of doing it for the first time, please consider choosing Remember My Baby as your charity of choice.
Lots of businesses do all kind of things for charities and we appreciate any form of support. But some decide to really make a thing of it and choose a ‘charity of the year’ to focus all their efforts to support over the course of the year, sometimes multiple years.
We’d really love to be your charity of the year. We promise to support you as much as possible, and to create as many business benefits for you as we can along the way.
The benefits of appointing a charity of the year
There are lots of advantages for you:
- It helps to get the whole organisation pulling together towards the same objective.
- Your support becomes more corporate and strategic, with clear outcomes to your charitable activity.
- It’s easier to measure and manage your activities in order to support your CSR objectives.
- When your employees help choose the charity, that’s great for engagement.
- Research shows that employees prefer to work for organisations which care – so that’s good news for recruitment and retention.
- Raise your company profile and be recognised as a leader in championing of baby loss support organisations.

Benefits of becoming a Charity of the Year partner with Remember My Baby
Why should you choose Remember My Baby?
As a company who values your employees wellbeing and how that affects their productivity and ability to perform well, you will be keen to recognise the importance of providing bereavement support to people who experience baby loss. It is a sensitive subject affecting families at different stages in their journeys to become parents. Many of your staff will be affected by baby loss both directly and indirectly and as it is still not spoken about as much as we would like; you can show your support for them by choosing to support Remember My Baby. Doing so will not only recognise those who experience baby loss whilst in your employment, but those who have historically and those who may in the future. Here are some statistics which will help you see how many of your staff may be affected, some even without your knowledge should they choose not to disclose their experiences.
