Memory Milk Gift Advisory Panel

Memory Milk Gift believes that every bereaved family across the UK should be offered the opportunity to donate milk in memory of their baby. As we work to achieve this goal and lower barriers associated with donation after loss, we recognise that demand for the service will grow.

We fully committed to ensuring that families who both have and haven’t been offered this opportunity continue to have a voice and guide us in how to deliver the best service that we can at the worst of times.

Alongside working with families, we are also aware of the importance of having a multi-disciplinary team within the initiative. We are delighted to announce the introduction of the
