Charity Partner, The Luca Foundation

The Luca Foundation was founded by Sharon Luca-Chatha to fund resources, facilities, and training that support families who have experienced the loss of a baby or are at high risk of doing so.

Having personally experienced the profound heartbreak of losing a child, Sharon understands how vital it is for families to have the time and space to say goodbye.

Through a programme of events, activities, and generous donations, the foundation provides cuddle cots, giving families precious extra time with their baby. In addition to this essential support, The Luca Foundation raises funds to advance research and offer specialist training aimed at reducing infant mortality and supporting bereaved parents during the most difficult moments of their lives.
