❤️

We want to take a moment to thank each one of you for getting involved in Baby Loss Awareness Week. No matter how big or small, every action helps raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.

Whether that’s wearing a ribbon pin, sharing a social media post, organising a Ribbon Display, asking your MP to join the BLAW debate, or starting an important conversation with someone you know about baby loss 💜🧡

So many of you have taken part in ways that are special to you from taking part in Ribbon Run, sharing your stories of loss or lighting a candle for Wave of Light.

We would like to extend a special thanks to all our amazing Volunteers right across the UK who work so hard in their local communities, not just during this week, but all year round, so that no one feels isolated or alone.

Thank you 💙🩷

Our memory tree is a special place for families, staff and everyone in our NICU community to pause, reflect and remember the precious little lives who will forever hold a place in our hearts. 🤍

Every heart represents a story, every name holds a memory, and every light reminds us of the love that connects us all.

As we embrace this year’s theme, Together We Care, we recognise the importance of coming together to support one another, share memories and honour the little ones who will always be part of our NICU family. 🕊️

Though their time with us may have been brief, their impact is everlasting. Together, we remember. Together, we support. Together, we care. 💫

Say their names 💙🩷

Each one loved, each one remembered and never forgotten.

Baby Loss Awareness Week takes place from 9 to 15 October 2026, ending with the global Wave of Light on 15 October at 7pm💗

The Perth Bridge and St Paul's Church will be illuminated in pink and blue to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week on the 9, 11, 12,14 and 15 October.

Baby Loss Awareness Week is a time to remember and honour babies who have died during pregnancy, birth or infancy, and to recognise the lasting impact that loss can have on parents, siblings, grandparents and the wider family.

The pink and blue lighting forms part of the Wave of Light, a worldwide act of remembrance that brings people together to remember loved and missed babies.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss, and with those remembering a much-loved baby this week. 💙
