💜🌙 WOW… together, we’ve travelled 100,880.3 km towards the Moon! 🌙💜

That’s MORE THAN 2,390 MARATHONS! 🤯👟
Just imagine all those finish lines… that’s how far we’ve travelled together! 💜

It’s been a little while since our last Steps to the Moon update! With Baby Loss Awareness Week and everything else happening, we’ve been a little quiet with these updates, but your kilometres have kept ticking over in the background… and LOOK how far you’ve taken us! 🙌

Every dog walk, school run, evening jog and weekend bike ride has helped us reach this incredible milestone. To everyone joining in: THANK YOU! 💜

Our steps to the moon awareness campaign has one BIG ambition: to travel the equivalent distance of the Earth to the Moon as a community by Luna’s 9th birthday on 29th November. 🌙

There’s still a huge distance ahead, but let’s see how close we can get! Halfway to the Moon would be absolutely incredible… 🥹 and your next walk could help us get there. 👣

You don’t need to take on a marathon to be part of something this big. A trip to the park, a stroll with a friend or your usual daily miles all count! ✨

Join us for free, invite someone along and let’s get those kilometres climbing! 🚀

💜🌊 Family Feedback 🌊💜

Matilda’s family came to us in 2025 after losing their precious little girl. As they lived in Exeter, we couldn’t yet offer our practical services, but through emotional support and our events, they became part of our Luna’s Fund family. 🌙

We always wished we could offer them a getaway. Last weekend, an unexpected opening finally made this possible, and it felt meant to be. 🥹

After some emotionally difficult weeks, this time together meant so much. Their feedback shows exactly why we hope to expand our baby loss services to Exeter in 2027, giving more families precious opportunities to reconnect, take a breath and feel supported.

Thank you to Matilda’s family for sharing such heartfelt words. Families like yours are our reason why. 🥹💜

And to baby Ezrah’s family, whose generosity in his memory funded this getaway, and Sunny Orchard Lodge in Padstow, Cornwall, for hosting their stay, thank you so much for making this possible. 💛✨

🥹 Our beautiful reasons why. 💜

Walking into the office everyday and seeing these babies is the greatest motivation for us to reach even more families who need our support during life after baby loss. 🫶🏽

Thank you for sharing. 💜

Plymouth-based charity, Luna's Fund, has unveiled a mural at its headquarters. It features 157 names, each representing "a baby, a story and a family we are honoured to know".

Aimee Green, founder of the Plymouth-based charity based said that "being able to walk into the office every day and see the babies who inspire us and all of the families that we've known to support over the past seven years is the most motivational part of our jobs." 🪽

💜💙 A very special thank you to Ralph’s family 💙💜

To celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary, Ralph’s great grandma 90th birthday, Ralph’s grandparents asked for donations in his memory instead of gifts, raising a wonderful £470 for Luna’s Fund.🥹💜

Ralph’s family hold such a special place in our hearts. They were the very first family we supported back in January 2019, after losing their precious Ralph in 2018. All these years later, they continue to honour him in such thoughtful and meaningful ways.

Thank you for including Ralph in your special celebration and allowing his memory to bring comfort to another family needing our support now. 🕊️

If you would like to support Luna’s Fund in memory of your baby, whether through a celebration, fundraiser or an event of your own, please get in touch. We would love to help you create something meaningful. Every act of kindness like this, makes such a difference. 🫶🏻💛

💜✨ For Orion ✨💜


We never know which everyday photograph will become a “before” photo.

A beach day in the last of the summer sunshine. Two children beside their mummy’s bump, waiting to meet their baby brother. 🌊

Then meeting Orion. Holding him. Taking a precious photograph together as a family of five. 🤍🪽

Continuing our ‘If Only Our Camera Roll Knew’ campaign, Orion’s family have kindly shared glimpses of life before and after losing their beautiful little boy.🩵

Their camera roll holds the first Christmas without him. His mummy’s first birthday after his loss. Photographs with smiles, while someone so deeply loved is missing.💔

It also holds so many ways of keeping Orion close. Searching for Orion’s Belt in the sky. ✨
Walking and abseiling in his memory. Every member of his family proudly wearing his name on their purple t-shirt. 💜

Later photographs welcome Orion’s little brother, Kayden. A family of six, with Orion always included.
These gorgeous photos capture the love for a new baby alongside the love and longing for his big brother, Orion. 🌈🩵

Through this campaign, we hope to hold bereaved families close and help others understand a little of the everyday realities of baby loss. How much a photograph can hold, beyond what we first see. 🧡

Thank you to Orion’s family for trusting us with these precious memories. We feel so honoured to share his story and the immense love for him that continues through it all.

💜💚 LIVV Super Clusters 💚💜

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Claire, who has not only volunteered at our events but has also chosen Luna’s Fund as Charity of the Year for her beautiful independent brand, LIVV food. 🫶🏻

Her Super Clusters are crunchy whole-food snacks made with whole grains, seeds, nuts and natural sweetness. Packed with plant protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals, they’re a nourishing little pick-me-up. 💚

For the past few months, we’ve been lovingly adding them into every one of our gift packs. They’re such a lovely addition, and we’ve received some wonderful feedback from our families. 💜

It was so lovely to welcome Claire in this week to the office, share ideas and hear her enthusiasm for supporting our families. We can’t wait to collaborate and do more together! 🫶🏻🧡

Thank you, Claire, for your time, your kindness and your delicious Super Clusters. Your support means so much to our small charity and the families we care for. 💜💚

💜💬What happens when you reach out to Luna’s Fund? 💬💜

After losing your precious baby, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming. Whether you refer yourself or someone does this on your behalf, Emma, our Bereavement Specialist, will gently guide you through the next steps. 💜

We’ll take time to get to know you, explain our services and arrange the practical support you choose, which might include a relaxing getaway. Alongside this, we offer ongoing emotional support, a personalised gift box, opportunities to connect with other families, ways to remember your baby through our mural and annual birthday cards and so much more.

You don’t need to know what to say or what you need. We’ll work that out together. We’re here to get to know you, remember your baby with you and be someone you can turn to, long after you receive the first message from us.🫶🏻
Once you’re part of our Luna’s Fund family, you’re always part of it. 💜🌙

💜🌱A whole year of birthday cards, donated with so much kindness. 🌱💜

Each year, we send our baby loss families a birthday card in memory of their precious baby. A little reminder that their baby is remembered, their birthday matters and we are thinking of them. 🤍

We reached out to SeedPrint, a company whose paper mill is based in Cornwall, hoping they could help us create plantable seed cards. Something our families could plant and watch flowers grow in memory of their baby.

Their response left our whole team speechless. They offered to donate our entire year’s supply, completely free. 🥹💜

We were able to create a bespoke design, and now the cards have arrived, we are absolutely blown away. They are beautiful, and we cannot wait to share them with our families.

For a small charity like ours, this generosity means so much. The money we would have spent on these cards can now support our other services, while we can still send something so special for each angel baby’s birthday. 🕊️

Seed Print, thank you for helping us remember so many precious babies in such a thoughtful way. We are beyond grateful, and we know the families we support will be too. 🌸💜
