Ivy Trust (The)

Our aims and objectives

The Ivy Trust supports bereaved parents and families in Guernsey, who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby either during pregnancy or soon after birth. As well as all aspects of maternal and baby care with a focus on prevention of loss.

The Trust is dedicated to providing support for parents in four main areas: • Personal support for parents • Maintaining the Ivy Room on Loveridge Ward and providing them with not only resources but equipment to ensure the most vulnerable babies have the best possible chance of survival. • Options for Remembrance including the creation of the Ivy Remembrance Garden in the hospital grounds • Providing training opportunities for anyone involved in the care of mothers and their babies

Organisation and management

Three Guernsey resident trustees. The Ivy Trust is financed through the proceeds of fundraising events and donations from individuals and charitable trusts.
