(UK, Find) Browse eventsWe are Octavia's Trust a small charitable trust set up to raise funds to provide postgraduate bursaries to people undertaking research into the causes and prevention of stillbirths and late stage miscarriages. Losing a baby is one of the worst things that can happen to a parent, but sadly it is all too common. We strongly believe that in order to get the best research we need the best researchers. However, high fees and lack of financial support put many potentially brillant researchers off from pursuing a master's degree which is mandatory for nearly all PhD programmes. By providing even small bursaries for deserving postgraduate students we hope to encourage more people to move into this field of research. Please donate to support our cause.
