Cherished Gowns UK is a charity that provides families of babies that are stillborn, miscarried or die shortly after birth with items of clothing that they are able to be dressed in, for their funeral - completely free of charge. The registered charity (No. 1172482) works closely with almost 250 NHS hospitals and directly with funeral homes on behalf of parents to provide packs that include a gown, hat, booties, blanket and a cloth nappy. All of the cherished items have been lovingly made by volunteers from all over Great Britain, and all of the gowns provided are made from generously donated wedding dresses. Since the charity started, over 100,000 gowns have been made from approximately 200,000 wedding dresses and over 250,000 items donated by knit and crochet volunteers. Cherished Gowns
