Chairman’s Award 2017 – Amy Jackson, The Lily Mae Foundation
Every year 6,500 babies are stillborn or die within the first four weeks (source: SANDS charity). Based in Balsall Common, The Lily Mae Foundation works to help change public perception of stillbirth and neonatal death. Donations are used to support parents and families affected by the death of a baby. Amy and her husband Ryan set up The Lily Mae Foundation in 2010, named after their daughter who was stillborn at Solihull Hospital earlier that year.
