As we move into the festive season, goodwill abounds and many businesses are selecting a charity to support in 2020. By choosing MISS (Miscarriage Information Support Service) as your company’s charity of the year, you can make a huge difference by supporting women and families affected by baby loss. With one in four pregnancies ending in a loss, most of us will know someone who has been through this devastating experience, or have experienced it ourselves.
MISS is the only registered charity and support service in the North-east of Scotland for early pregnancy loss. The money your business raises throughout the year will be used locally to benefit your community in Aberdeen and surrounding areas. Abi Clarke, Chairperson, founded MISS following her own miscarriage five years ago at seven weeks pregnant. At the time she felt there was a lack of support in the area and this led her to set up MISS in 2017. In less than three years, MISS has developed into a rapidly growing charity which is currently going from strength to strength.
The benefits of making MISS your charity of the year include:
- Knowing your donations and awareness-raising will benefit local communities, possibly even friends and family;
- Boosting the visibility for your business and brand in your local community;
- Defining your corporate identity and ethics by showing you care about breaking the silence on baby loss;
- Improving your public relations; and
- Boosting employee morale.
