The Scottish Cot Death Trust

About

A baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly every nine days in Scotland and the majority of families will never know why their healthy baby has died. The Scottish Cot Death Trust is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to the issue of sudden unexpected death in babies and young children and trying to find the answers through funding research.

The Scottish Cot Death Trust provides a wide range of support for anyone affected by a sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI). This is predominately for families but extends any professional affected by SUDI. We also provide education sessions to various audiences about Safe Sleep and how to reduce the risks.

By supporting the Scottish Cot Death Trust you can help us make a difference.

< Our Aims >

*To support anyone in Scotland affected by the sudden unexpected death of a baby or young child.

*To educate professionals and parents across the country about ways to reduce the risk of SUDI and to better understand what happens after a sudden unexpected death of a baby or young child

*To fund vital research into why these babies and children die and how we may prevent future deaths

*The charity office is in Glasgow with all activities provided across the country, whether that is the outreach support in the communities where bereaved families live, education delivered in workplace and community settings across Scotland or ways to support individuals with their own awareness or fundraising events.

The small staff team in our office are passionate about the charity – it's more than just a job for us. The four support workers based in the community provide a dedicated service for bereaved families - which really does make a difference. Our bereavement counselling service only contracts skilled and experienced counsellors who understand what happens when a baby or young child dies suddenly and unexpectedly.
