Celebrating Forever Stars - Our Charity of the Year
Clear Consultancy Services is delighted to confirm Forever Stars as our 2026 Charity of the Year. A hugely impactful charity, it exists to promote and protect the health of parents affected by the stillbirth or other perinatal or neonatal death. Forever Stars seeks to relieve suffering and emotional distress amongst such parents in particular, but not exclusively, by:
Supporting newly bereaved parents by providing emotional support, practical advice and information.
Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities and services designed to meet their needs at the Nottingham University Hospitals, not otherwise made available by the National Health Service.
Through its team of volunteers, Forever Stars provides support groups and services, and other resources to support anyone touched by the death of a baby or infant. Everyone involved with the charity is also passionate about driving change on a broader scale. Through fundraising efforts and advocacy campaigns, Forever Stars strives to improve bereavement care for parents and families across the East Midlands. The charity additionally champions medical research aimed at reducing the incidence of stillbirths, ensuring a brighter, more hopeful future for generations to come.
For the team at Clear Consultancy Services, we know the big difference Forever Stars is having and it was an obvious choice for our first ever charity of the year. As well as providing a financial donation to the charity, we have committed to:
Raising awareness – Using our networks – including national contacts and their work with lenders, government bodies and debt advice agencies – to help break the taboo around baby loss and signpost people to support.
Getting involved in events and community activities – From the 26-mile Baby Loss Awareness Walk to the Forever Stars Ball, the team is keen to participate and play an active role in the charity’s community.
Helping open up conversations – Linking to our specialism in supporting people in financial difficulty, we will seek to better highlight the lesser-spoken-about financial impact of baby loss. Many bereaved parents need time away from work, face reduced income or find themselves struggling to cope – and this is an area we hope to help bring more visibility to.
Many thanks to Forever Stars for their life changing work and for welcoming us as a Corporate Partner. We look forward to working together more in 2026! Please read more about Forever Stars here: https://www.foreverstars.org/
