Our mission is to support and connect individuals who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR), abortion, neonatal loss, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), or infertility.

We recognize that the journey through loss and healing is deeply individual. PILSC provides accessible pathways to support, including counselling, peer support, groups, education, and community connection.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with financial expertise who wants to contribute their skills to a growing, community-focused charitable organization.

Key Responsibilities

The Treasurer will:

- Provide oversight of PILSC’s budget, financial reporting, financial controls, and overall financial health.
