The group aims to support parents who have lost a child of any age. The supporters themselves are bereaved parents. 

Meetings are held every 6 weeks in members homes.

Joel's main aim is to support families through pregnancy and parenting after baby loss.  No matter how long ago you experienced your loss, at any stage of pregnancy, during labour or after birth, we will support you.  It is important to know that you are never alone.  We aim to celebrate the family as a whole and break the taboo associated with baby loss.

Every first Saturday of each month we meet for a chat and a cuppa (with a slice of cake!), 10.00-11.30am at the Golden Ball, 3 Victoria Square, Worksop, Notts, S80 1DX

The groups are relaxed, friendly and welcoming and you are not pressured to sit and talk if you don't want to.  However, we do have a wonderful peer support network and provide access to all Joel's services.  You can find out about:

• coaching
• counselling
• hypnotherapy and 1:1 support

You can also:

• borrow beautiful books from our library
• make crafts
• meet families who share the same experiences as you

Sunshine Children (baby born before loss) and Rainbow Children (baby born after loss) are welcome to come along too, as they can play, craft and meet other children who have lost a precious sibling.

Bereavement

The Tamba Bereavement Support Group (BSG) exists to support all parents and carers of multiples who have experienced loss whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or at any point afterwards. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that by making contact with the BSG you will find some comfort.

The group was established in 1982 in response to requests from parents who had lost a twin.  Dr Elizabeth Bryan, a founder member of the the Twins and Multiples Births Association (TAMBA), recognised the special needs of such families and started it off by producing the first leaflet of its kind on this subject. As more people contacted the group it became clear that families faced with the loss of both twins had yet another set of problems, as did parents who had suffered a cot death. 

Tamba BSG offers parent to parent support via our befriending service and via our facebook bereavement support group

If you would like a hardcopy of the booklet, or like to have further support from the group, please email the Support Services team.

Tamba now have a separate electronic booklet for parents who have suffered a loss from TTTS, if you would like a copy of this booklet please send us an email.
