ChristMISS: For Those We Hold in Our Hearts
Some people may be missing from our Christmas celebrations, but they'll never be missing from our hearts.
Christmas can be a time of happiness, togetherness and cherished traditions. But for those who have experienced pregnancy loss, it can also bring complicated emotions, difficult memories and reminders of what might have been.
At MISS, we understand that this time of year isn't easy for everyone.
That's why we're inviting you to be part of ChristMISS 2026, our annual Christmas appeal dedicated to remembrance, compassion and supporting those affected by pregnancy loss.
Together, we can bring comfort, hope and understanding to individuals and families across Scotland.
Help us fill our ChristMISS tree with love
Every decoration on our ChristMISS tree represents something special: an act of kindness, a gesture of support, or a moment of remembrance.
Whether you're making a donation in memory of a little one, showing support for somebody you love, or simply helping us continue our work, your contribution means a great deal.
By supporting ChristMISS, you're helping us provide free, confidential services and practical resources for people affected by pregnancy loss.
Every contribution helps. Every act of kindness matters.

If Christmas feels difficult, we’re here.
We know this campaign may bring up memories or feelings that are difficult to navigate. If you've experienced pregnancy loss, whether recently or many years ago, please remember that support is available. MISS provides free, confidential services to help people affected by pregnancy loss across Scotland.
You don't need to have the right words, and there's no timetable for grief.
We're here to listen and support you.
