The Miscarriage Association NI Support Group, an integral part of the Northern Ireland pregnancy and baby loss charity collective, has received a £1,000 funding grant through Power NI's Brighter Communities initiative.

Established in 2019, the group works with other charities and support organisations across Northern Ireland to advocate for and aid those who have suffered miscarriages or baby loss.

The group runs two support groups in Belfast and Antrim, as well as online sessions, to offer emotional and practical support and give members a space where their feelings and struggles can be shared and understood.

With the funding, the group will be buying additional advertising material, such as flyers and posters, as part of a current outreach programme, as well as contributing to the running of the support groups.

The Brighter Communities funding was first established by Power NI 2018 and since it has donated over £50,000 to groups and projects across Northern Ireland. 

Ashleigh O'Neill from Power NI said: "The role that Erin and the group plays in communities across Northern Ireland is really important in helping those affected by miscarriage. Power NI is proud to champion the work that the Miscarriage Association NI Support Group is doing, and we hope the funding helps the group to reach anyone who is in need of support."
