Next step for Our Sam - Meet our Board of Trustees...

Very exciting announcement for Our Sam
As ‘Our Sam’ heads towards it’s charity status application, I am delighted to make this special announcement.
From the start of my journey with ‘Dancing in the Wings’, my play based on the loss of our baby daughter, Sam, that has led to where we are now, I have had an incredible amount of support from many people. However, one person has overwhelmed me with his level of support for the play, me, and our plans to move forward to develop ‘Our Sam’ as a charity. I couldn’t be happier to be able to announce now that he will continue to walk by our side into the next stage of our journey to raise awareness, understanding and support for anyone affected by baby loss as a result of Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Neonatal Death.
So here it is…once we become a fully formed charity, Neville Southall MBE, phenomenal advocate for mental health issues, and incredible footballing legend, will become Patron for ‘Our Sam’.
I am so grateful for your support and encouragement Nev, and honoured that you want to continue this journey with us, thank you so much!
