Recent generous donations have allowed the local branch of national bereavement charity Sands to further support families affected by baby loss through enhancing the Rainbow Room at Dumfries Infirmary.
The Rainbow Room, within the women’s and children’s unit, is a space for families to have privacy and comfort in the days after losing their baby and to spend as long as possible with them before having to say goodbye.
New soft furnishings for the bedroom and sitting area have been added, making it more comfortable, and for the first time a table and chairs have been added so that families can sit and eat while staying there.
Sands representative Alison Hall made a recent visit to see the Rainbow Room with its latest additions. She was also there to present two new bedding liners for the cot that stays in the room.
