What is FSID?

The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) is the UK's leading baby charity working to prevent sudden infant deaths and promote infant health. FSID funds research (nearly 10 million to date) supports bereaved families promotes baby care advice and works to improve investigations when a baby dies.

The number of babies dying has  fallen by 75% since FSID launched the campaign to reduce the risk of cot death in 1991, and  FSID estimate that 25,000 babies lives have been saved. Despite this success, cot death remains the biggest killer of babies over one month old. 

It is a charity that is particularly close to my heart  and i can empathise with families who have suffered the loss of a child due to cot death.  As 18 years ago my sister had twins, a boy and girl but sadly Ashley died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when he was only 4 months old. The shock, disbelief and pain of the loss is insurmountable. However, some comfort is gained from knowing that charites such as FSID exist and are researching the cause and supporting those affected     

Sweet N Lite is proud to be associated with FSID and is  supporting the fantastic work the charity does by donating 10% of the profits made from every bag of sweets sold.
