Dr. Stuart Garton, Clinical Director of The Dental House, states:

“The Practice has always supported local charities since it opened in 2015. For 2020, the Practice wanted to engage with a local charity and develop a comprehensive programme of events and activities across the whole year – that our staff could get behind, and that could ultimately help make a big impact for the charity itself. When I heard about the excellent work of Love, Jasmine and met Rob, this local charity quickly became a very clear and obvious choice for the Practice to support in 2020.”

They set up the charity to support other families who had lost a child.  Jasmine’s death meant that they experienced first-hand what support services were and were not available.  They then set out to improve the support that was available to bereaved families in the Merseyside area.

​Love, Jasmine provides bereavement support to families who have a lost a child of any age from 20 weeks gestation to adulthood.  They take a holistic approach to the support they provide families, as they understand that everyone deals with their grief and trauma in their own way.  They provide:

  • Emotional – One to one counselling, couples counselling, family group work, support groups and coffee mornings.
  • Practical – Advice, signposting, guidance and advocacy.
  • ​Self-care – Complimentary therapies, yoga and meditation.
  • ​Respite Breaks – Short breaks at Jasmine’s Retreat which is in Ribby Hall Village, Lancashire.

Charlotte Chan, staff member of The Dental House, states: “’The Love, Jasmine team and services have played a huge part in my husband and I learning to cope with the loss of our daughter Margot. We have received counselling and complimentary therapies, which have helped us grieve and practice self-care. In deciding which charity to support this year, choosing Love, Jasmine was a no brainer. The support they offer can be a lifeline for bereaved families.”
