Towards Tomorrow Together

11/10/2026

Somerset is turning pink and blue for Baby Loss Awareness Week.

From 9 to 15 October, buildings and landmarks across the UK will light up pink and blue to raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss and show support for bereaved families. Some buildings light up only for the 15th Oct (The Wave of Light) so please check before you travel to see any.

Over the years, some incredible landmarks have taken part around the UK, including Blackpool Tower, Belfast City Hall, The Kelpies, Marble Arch and Cardiff City Hall.

And Somerset is joining them. 💗💙

Look out for:

💗 Bridgwater Town Hall
💙 Chard Guildhall
💗 County Hall, Taunton
💙 Market House, Taunton
💗 Buttercross, Somerton
💙 St Mary’s Church, Ilminster

Could we turn even more of Somerset pink and blue?

We’d love your help approaching buildings and landmarks in your local area. There are useful resources and template communications available to make it easier to get involved. https://babyloss-awareness.org/pink-blue/

If you spot a building lit up, take a photo and share it with us too.

Together, we can light up Somerset, start conversations and raise awareness of baby loss.

We're at Taunton's Baby Loss Awareness Week Service today. Our Butterfly Display is up this afternoon and will reappear in Bridgwater on Wednesday and Thursday.

How did Baby Loss Awareness Week begin?

Baby Loss Awareness Week began over 20 years ago, with the first Baby Loss Awareness Day taking place in 2002. Bereaved parents came together to raise awareness, remember their babies and help other families affected by pregnancy and baby loss.

In 2003, it grew into a full week and included the first official UK Wave of Light service.

Today, Baby Loss Awareness Week brings together families, charities, healthcare professionals and communities across the UK. It has helped open conversations around baby loss, improve support and bereavement care, and make sure families know they are not alone.

For many bereaved families, taking part is also a powerful way to say:

My baby existed.
My baby mattered.
My baby is remembered.

There are lots of ways to get involved in Baby Loss Awareness Week, 9th -15th October 2026. This year you can leave your baby a message on our virtual Lake Of Lanterns.

Each donation we receive will help us continue to support local families when their baby dies. Times are tough for so many charities this year, as a tiny charity (with a tiny income) with very big dreams, we really appreciate your support.
