Local mum Emma Shepherd is holding a ‘bake and craft’ sale to raise funds for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death) charity after they provided her with support following the death of her first-born son, Ethan.

Emma, who works in cardiology, hopes the event will raise money in Ethan’s memory to provide other families with help at Royal Oldham Hospital. 

The mother-of-three said: “Having been thrown into a new world of grieving parents, I received a lot of support from Sands. From support groups, memory boxes and cold cots, they helped me and my husband, Ste, through the early days, helping us make little memories and learn how to cope with what we were feeling.”

She added: “My wish is to try and raise money to help Oldham Hospital Sands Group with anything else needed to help grieving parents in their time of need.”
