Annual Permanent Fixture - Bereavement Liaison Team Conference - 20.10.26
Next Conference scheduled for 20th October 2026 Salford Royal Hospital
On 29th November 2024, JUST.BATHE had the honour of being invited for the first time to The Swan Bereavement Conference. This opportunity allowed us to present our JUST.BATHE boxes to a group of health professionals from the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, which encompasses four Care Organisations across Salford, Oldham, Bury, and Rochdale.
This event was a significant opportunity for us to share our work with those who play a vital role in supporting families during their most challenging moments. The audience, made up of professionals from Accident and Emergency and Intensive Care Units, gave us invaluable feedback on the importance of these boxes in offering care and compassion to grieving families.
We have now been invited as regular guests attending again on 27th February 2026. Hearing directly from nurses about how much the boxes are needed on these critical units was both humbling and inspiring. It reinforced the value of what we do and encouraged us to continue expanding our reach to more hospitals and care facilities. The enthusiastic reception we received from the audience not only validated our efforts but also motivated us to keep working towards our goal of supporting every family in need.
JUST.BATHE will be at the next conference on 20th October 2026.

“Our JUST.BATHE boxes have been gratefully used & have made a difference to many families; we are so grateful”
“Hello I just wanted to thank you for your kind donation to our hospital. Today we had some parents who sadly lost their child. They were so touched by the box, and being encouraged to give some care. It really made a difference to their experience. Thankyou.”

“The JUST.BATHE boxes have made a genuinely meaningful difference on our ward. In moments where there are so few words and very little we can offer, these boxes provide something tangible — a sense of care, dignity, and compassion. Families have responded so positively, and it allows us as staff to support them in a more thoughtful and sensitive way. We are truly grateful for the impact they are having.”
“The bowl is beautiful and it is the shape of a baby bath. So it reminds me of bathing my baby. This will be so meaningful for a parent bathing their child one last time.”
