(UK, 1002918) About SOFT UK SOFT UK provides information and support at all stages following a prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18 - whether a family decides to terminate the pregnancy early or allow it to continue. SOFT supports those caring for a baby or child with these conditions (often living with multiple and profound disabilites), and families if a bereavement occurs. As a membership organisation, families can share their experiences through the SOFT UK website, members' magazine and annual members' events. SOFT offers support to all members of the family, including siblings of the affected child, for as long as required. At the heart of SOFT UK is the belief that no family should have to cope alone and that offering an opportunity to share experiences can reduce feelings of isolation commonly felt by members of families affected by these rare conditions.
