Comfort and mutual support

The service takes place every year during National Baby Loss Awareness Week. It’s put together by the hospital chaplains and Bereavement Specialist Midwives to offer comfort and mutual support.

Everyone is welcome to join us as we come together to remember and celebrate the lives of the precious babies who are no longer with us.”
