Tonight, we’ll be remembering all the babies who died too soon, and holding in mind the families who love and miss them every day.

At 7pm local time, families around the world are invited to light a candle and leave it burning for at least one hour as part of the global Wave of Light, marking the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

If you would like to take part, light a candle in memory of your baby, or for a baby who is loved and remembered, and share their name or your candle photo using .

However you choose to remember, we invite you to pause with us tonight and help create a wave of light around the world in memory of every baby whose life, however brief, continues to be loved and remembered.

100km. Two people close to his heart.

A huge congratulations to Nolan Law, who took on the incredible Holy Island–Rothbury 100k Ultra in memory of his Mum and Dad, who died in May and August 2023.

Taking on 100km is an extraordinary achievement, but Nolan made every step count, raising an amazing £3,630 for Child Bereavement UK.

We're incredibly grateful to Nolan for choosing to support us in such a meaningful way. The money he's raised will help us continue supporting children, young people and families facing bereavement.

Thank you, Nolan, for your determination, generosity and for honouring your parents in such a special way.

Please join us in congratulating Nolan on this incredible achievement!

If your child finds it hard to talk about their grief, that doesn’t mean they’re not expressing it.

Emotion in Motion is a new dance and movement event for bereaved children aged 8 to 11, offering another way to let out feelings, move through emotions and spend time with other children who may understand.

There’ll be a chance to talk about their special person at the start if they want to, but there’s no pressure. They can simply come along, dance, move and take part in whatever way feels right for them.

We have two sessions on Tuesday 27 October:
9.30am

4.15pm

Both sessions are for children aged 8 to 11.

Grief can make it harder to concentrate, make decisions or keep up with everything you normally would.

For National Train Your Brain Day, we’re sharing some simple ways to give your mind a little less to carry, from breaking things into smaller steps and taking breaks, to getting outside, moving your body or finding another way to express what you’re feeling.

Members of our Youth Team have also shared what has helped them, from poetry and journalling to skating and exercise.

There’s no one right way to cope. Sometimes giving yourself permission to slow down is enough.

If you’re grieving, or supporting a child or young person who is, you don’t have to manage it alone. You can find information, guidance and support from Child Bereavement UK at https://brnw.ch/21x6mWb.

Save this post for a day when things feel harder, or share it with someone who might find it useful.

What if your Christmas tree could make a difference long after the decorations come down?

Every year, our incredible volunteers and local businesses come together to collect and recycle Christmas trees, raising vital funds for Child Bereavement UK.

Last year, the initiative saw nearly 1,100 Christmas trees collected and almost £24,000 raised to help us support children, young people and families facing bereavement.

But none of this would be possible without the generosity, time and enthusiasm of our wonderful volunteers.

Now, we need your help!

Whether you're looking to give back to your community, meet new people or support a meaningful cause, we'd love you to join our Christmas tree recycling team.
