Join us for our annual Adult's Christmas Party! Here’s a few snaps from last year’s! 🎄

Although the reason we have all come together is one we wish we never had to know, we’re so grateful to be able to create moments of connection, laughter and joy for bereaved families, especially during a time of year that can feel particularly difficult.

Our Christmas party is a chance to come together, remember, support one another and make some special memories along the way. ❤️🎄

We can’t wait to celebrate with you again this year! ✨

🕯️Tonight 🕯️

Our annual Wave of Light Memorial Service will return again this year during Baby Loss Awareness Week. This is always such a special event, that we hope brings some comfort to families.

Please join us at Ashton Memorial from 6.30pm tonight (7pm for Wave of Light) to remember our babies and take a moment to reflect.

During the memorial, we will light up the steps of the memorial in pink and blue, names will be read from our memorial leaflet, followed by the lighting of candles at 7pm and a minutes silence.

If you have previously asked for your babies name to be added to the leaflet, they will remain there. To allow us time to print, the deadline to add additional names has now closed. Memorial leaflets will be available on the evening for those in attendance.

Tea, coffee, a tuck shop and lights for the children will be for sale on the night for a small charge, prior to the Wave of Light. Please bring some loose change if you wish to purchase any refreshments. All profits will go back into Matilda’s Mission.

All our events are free for bereaved families, funded by Matilda’s Mission and run by volunteers. If you would like to make a donation to Matilda’s Mission you can do this on the evening. We are very grateful for any donations which help us to keep supporting local, bereaved families.

Note - Please feel free to bring your own candles, however, we ask that you take these home after the memorial as we cannot leave them on the park.

See you there 🩷💙
