Still Parents is the Whitworth’s award-winning programme to support parents who have experienced the loss of a baby in pregnancy or just after birth.
​
Explore your experiences of baby loss through art with the help and guidance of an artist alongside support from the Manchester Sands charity. Making is at the heart of these sessions as participants are introduced to new techniques and skills whilst surrounded by people who understand.

Still Care
​
Supporting the midwives who care for those who have lost a baby.
​
"Still Care is a new strand of work that compliments the multi-award-winning Still Parents programme. By supporting those who care for bereaved parents we hope to make optimal care more certain for grieving parents which will, in turn, contribute towards positive social change and better outcomes for all. Through the ‘Still Parents’ programme we helped tell the story of baby loss and raise awareness of what is considered a taboo subject. We would now like to tell the other side of the story too, allowing midwives the opportunity to tell their stories and highlight the challenges they face." - Still Care
