About 4Louis

4Louis provide useful tools, equipment and training free of charge to hospital units, hospices and other professionals who sadly have the job of comforting grieving families who suffer a miscarriage, Stillbirth Neonatal or child death.

When a baby dies bereaved parents can feel very isolated. They don’t usually know anyone else who has had a similar experience. Support from family and friends can sometimes fall away soon after a baby has died.

4Louis offer support to families through the following ways:

Memory Boxes: 4Louis Memory Boxes are a place for parents and families to create and keep memories of their baby or child and are gifted free of charge.

Group Craft Days: Many familes feel that only others who have experienced the death of a baby or child can offer real understanding of their pain, our group craft days run from our workshop in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear where families are welcome Monday to Friday to join us for a cuppa and biscuits while helping to make our memory boxes up.

Personal Support: We are not qualified Councillors, but what we do have is compassion, empathy and experience and are available to chat either over the phone, email, or face to face.
