💜 Baby Loss Awareness Week | 9–15 October 🧡

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we remember all the babies who are sadly no longer with us, and we stand alongside the families who have experienced the heartbreak of baby loss.
Baby loss can leave a lasting impact, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Sometimes, the simplest thing we can do is listen, acknowledge the loss and let someone know they don’t have to face it alone. 💜
At Home-Start Birmingham South, we know that parents may need support not only in the immediate aftermath, but also weeks, months and even years later.

🕯️ Light a candle. Say their name. Remember their story.

💜 You are not alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling after baby loss, please reach out for support. Talking to someone can make a difference.

A great service to keep families and communities safe

🏠 Could someone you know benefit from a Safe and Well visit?

After a particularly busy summer, with several significant fires across the West Midlands, we know some people may be thinking a little more about fire safety at home.

Our free Safe and Well visits offer practical fire safety advice and support, tailored to the needs of the person and their home.

The flyer below explains more and includes a QR code to find out more and request a visit.

📲 Save the flyer and send it to a friend, family member or neighbour who might benefit.

Some lovely ideas....

They probably won’t remember what you bought them.
But they’ll remember the silly traditions, the little adventures and the times you said “yes”. ❤️
