Service for Baby Loss Awareness Week at St Collen's

 

A special Wave of Light service is to be held at St Collen's Church this Sunday (October 15) at 4pm to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.

A spokesperson for the organisers said: "It’s all about raising awareness and breaking the silence on what people used to consider a ‘taboo’ topic. 

"I know that baby loss has affected many local families, including my own, so it would be really good for families to know that their babies are not forgotten. 

"The church will also be lit up to raise awareness and the service is for anyone who has a lost a baby in pregnancy, at birth or in the early years, whether the loss was yesterday or 80 years ago. 

"There will be an opportunity to write names on the remembrance tree at the back of the church throughout Baby Loss Awareness Week and the church will be open every day from 10am-3.30pm."
