OSCAR'S WISH FOUNDATION

Oscar's Wish Foundation offers comfort and support to Parents & Birthing people, family members and siblings who have experienced the devastating loss of a precious baby before (Miscarriage), during (Stillbirth) or shortly after (Neonatal) birth. We have a range of resources, information and support programmes. These have been designed to help in the days, weeks and months following a loss.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
