Baby Loss Awareness Week
Baby Loss Awareness Week runs from the 9th to 15th October each year. We join other charities and professionals in raising the profile of our community in this week, and honouring babies that are no longer here. We understand that October can be a triggering and emotional time, so please do reach out if you need some support in this time (or at any other time).
Wave Of Light Service
Join us at St Mary's Church in Bridgwater on 15th October at 6.30pm for our annual memorial service. This gentle service will include readings, gentle music, time to reflect and a moment to light a candle for your baby. Please let us know if you are planning to come along.
Butterfly Display
This Baby Loss Awareness Week we will be honouring the little ones we carry in our hearts by creating a butterfly display. Each crocheted butterfly will be dedicated to a baby - with the name displayed on a heart tag beneath the butterfly.
Pink & Blue!
We believe the following buildings will be lit up in Somerset, for the Wave of Light on the evening of the 15th October.
County Hall, Taunton.
The Market House, Taunton.
The Market House, Martock.
Memorial Hall, Stoke sub Hamdon.
