🕯️ Baby Loss Awareness Week – 9–15 October 2025

Baby Loss Awareness Week is an opportunity to remember and honour babies who died during pregnancy, at or soon after birth, and in infancy. It provides a safe and supportive space for anyone affected.

Why It Matters

  • Pregnancy and baby loss affects thousands of families every year in the UK.
  • Many parents experience feelings of isolation and grief that can last a lifetime.
  • Talking openly helps break the silence and offers comfort to those who may feel alone.

Ways to Get Involved

  • Take part in the Wave of Light on 15th October by lighting a candle at 7pm.
  • Share your story or listen to others to help build awareness and compassion.
  • Support charities working to improve bereavement care and support services.
