Baby Loss Awareness Week

Remembering loved and missed babies.

Baby Loss Awareness Week

Half of UK adults will either have experienced baby loss, or know someone who has. 

During baby loss awareness week (9th-15th October), we remember much-loved and missed babies and raise awareness about pregnancy and baby loss.

On this page you will find information about projects funded by the charity to support those who have been affected by baby loss, as well as useful resources, and information about upcoming crafting sessions funded by our supporters.
