What We Do

At Just.Bathe, we are dedicated to supporting families enduring the heart-wrenching experience of losing a child. Our mission is to provide comfort and compassion during their most vulnerable moments. We do this by offering specially designed bathing packs to hospitals, which enable parents to lovingly bathe and care for their child one last time. These packs are thoughtfully curated to ensure that parents can create a peaceful and meaningful farewell, fostering a sense of connection and honouring the bond they share. Through this simple yet profound act of care, we hope to bring solace to grieving families, helping them navigate an unimaginable loss .

Compassionate Support for Families

Mission:
At Just Bathe, our mission is to bring compassion, dignity, and support to parents facing the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a child. Founded by Dr. Steph Alger after the tragic loss of her own child, we are dedicated to providing essential bathing packs to hospitals, ensuring that parents have the resources to share tender, meaningful moments with their child in their final hours. Through our work, we aim to ease a small part of their pain by enabling acts of love, care, and connection when words cannot suffice.

Vision:
We envision a world where no parent faces the loss of a child without the resources and support they need to honour their child's life with dignity and love. Just Bathe are dedicated to ensuring parents can create cherished final moments amidst their grief.

Our Mission and Vision

Our Story

Just.Bathe was founded by Dr. Steph Alger, a mother and who experienced the devastating loss of her son in a tragic car accident. In the midst of her grief, Dr. Steph recognised the profound and instinctive importance of small, meaningful acts of care during the final moments with her child.

Inspired by her personal journey, Dr. Steph created Just.Bathe to ensure that no parent facing such unimaginable loss would be without the resources to do the same. Our charity provides thoughtfully designed bathing packs to hospitals, giving parents the tools to ‘bathe’ their child creating a meaningful goodbye.

Through Just.Bathe her son’s legacy lives on.
