MAMA Academy, the UK's stillbirth prevention charity is hosting a family funday picnic at Langar Airfield to help put an end to all preventable stillbirths.

MAMA Academy invites you to join the 2024 Carry Their Names campaign, an initiative to remember and honour our precious babies who are no longer with us. MAMA Academy is dedicated to preventing stillbirths and empowering parents with essential knowledge, and this campaign is a beautiful way to support that mission.

What is the Carry Their Names Campaign?

Every year, around 4,500 babies are stillborn or pass away shortly after birth in the UK. Carry Their Names is a campaign where families and friends can carry the names of these precious babies during their summer adventures. Whether you’re heading to the park, beach, or a family gathering, bring their names with you and share your photos using #CarryTheirNames. This campaign is a touching way for everyone – parents, uncles, aunties, grandparents, and friends – to remember and honour these little ones.

We are thrilled to announce our main fundraiser for this year: a group skydive event and picnic on August 31st at Langar Airfield in Nottingham. This is your chance to honour the memory of your baby in a unique and exhilarating way. For a £10 donation, you can have your baby’s name carried on the shirt of a skydiver, or you can take the leap yourself by getting involved in our group fundraiser!

By participating in the skydive, you’ll join a community of bereaved families and supporters raising awareness about baby loss. Every jump helps fund MAMA Academy’s efforts, including stillbirth prevention tools and educational resources for expectant parents and healthcare professionals.
