Scottish Cot Death Trust

Scottish Cot Death Trust

Scottish Cot Death Trust was founded in 1985 and is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to the sudden unexpected death of babies and young children. We make a difference because we; aim to find the answers through funding research, provide support for bereaved families, and educate the public and professionals about sudden unexpected death in infants (SUDI). We are a small charity run from our office base in Glasgow with a small team of dedicated staff and volunteers. No matter where you live in Scotland, you can access our services.

Registered Charity No. SC003458
