Each year, Scottish Women in Business adopts a charity, nominated by members and selected by our President in consultation with committee members.
The money, support and awareness provided by swib makes a big difference to help the chosen charity. At each event, a donation of £1 per attendee is added to the amount that swib pays to the charity at the end of the year, but there are many more ways to help! Here's a round-up of all the ways in which we raise the money for our Charity of the Year. If you have any ideas on how swib can raise even more, please let us know using our contact form.
Charity 2023-24
swib's charity of the year for 2023-2024 is Baby Loss Retreat.
We are a local charity offering counselling and support to families who have suffered any baby loss resulting in miscarriage, stillborn, neonatal death and IVF. As parents who have suffered a stillborn in 2003, we understand the needs and help to others.
We are a 24 hours service offering counselling and care. In addition to this care, we offer 2 days respite free of charge in a peaceful location to help with the grieving process and reflect as a family. After a loss, we find it hard coping in relationships or dealing with family life as we are grieving after the death of a baby and sometimes we find it difficult to focus on the future or situation that may arise. The retreat is a safe environment and peaceful to help to reflect.
You can find out more about Baby Loss Retreat on their website.
