Loss of a baby or pregnancy is heart-breaking, this is happening to families across the UK everyday. During Baby Loss Awareness Week, we want to create a special display to remember all the baby’s lost and we invite you to join us in remembering yours.

Ribbons/hearts displaying the names of the babies being remembered will be added to the ribbon displays and window displays from the 9th October and will remain in place till the 15th.

All monies raised will go to Sands, who work to save babies lives and support bereaved families.

Thank you 💙🧡
