Baby Loss Awareness Week
Each year The Lullaby Trust joins other leading baby charities to raise awareness of baby loss and campaign to secure the support of MPs for the provision of better bereavement care.
Baby Loss Awareness Week takes place 9-15th October. During this week families all over the world commemorate the lives of their babies and share memories of the all too brief time they had together.
The week ends with the global Wave of Light on 15th October, where candles are lit across the globe as part of international Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
You can help to ensure that bereaved families receive the support they need for as long as they need it. Just £9 could pay for a support package to be sent to a bereaved family, giving advice, sharing experiences from other bereaved parents and signposting to where they can get further support.
We’re incredibly grateful to The Sandhu Charitable Foundation who will be matching donations made in support of Baby Loss Awareness Week this year, pound-for-pound up to £9,000, meaning that your donation will make twice the impact.
