ARC Christmas Appeal 2025

ARC’s 2025 Christmas Appeal: Breaking Down Barriers

Helping parents and healthcare professionals access ARC’s information, support and community

Christmas can be a time of sharing and togetherness. Yet we hear from many parents that this time of year can feel particularly isolating, as they face hugely tough decisions or struggle with grief.

This Christmas, we’re asking for your help to break down the barriers that prevent families and the professionals caring for them from accessing clear, compassionate, and inclusive information. Many parents receiving unexpected test results, making a decision about the future of their pregnancy or grieving a baby loss, struggle to find support in a format they can connect with or an experience that resonates with their own.

Your donation to ARC’s appeal can help our families feel less alone. Can you help us raise £5,000 this Christmas?

What your donation will support in 2026:

• Updating our support publications for parents, including new translations.
• Promoting our new Clearvoice translator service to ensure that more families wanting support in a language other than English can access our support.
• Developing our parent films and written stories, to introduce ARC’s services and profile a wider range of experiences throughout the antenatal screening process.
• Continuing to offer multiple ways to contact us, from phone call to email, SMS and Live Chat.
• Planning bespoke training and resources to ensure all UK professionals are offered tools to help families. This includes in-person and online options, and a specialist project developing new training for community midwives across Wales, especially in rural areas.

We would love to raise £5,000 to share and improve our services this Christmas. Every donation – big or small – brings us closer to our national aim to support every individual and community.
