Balloon Releases

To mark this year's campaign, balloon releases are planned across the UK.

We will be using a mixture of pink, blue and lilac balloons that will be released in memory of babies that have died during pregnancy or at/soon after birth.

We would be delighted if you decided to organise a Balloon Release.  We are able to provide support, encouragement and information to anyone who would like to organise their own event.  We can also help to publicise your balloon release, and perhaps by putting you in touch with other volunteers in your area.

  • Organising a Balloon Release Event Application and Agreement Form (428 KB)

 

Wave of Light Events

We would be delighted to provide support, encouragement and information to anyone who would like to organise their own Wave of Light event.  We can also help to publicise your event, and perhaps put you in touch with other volunteers in your area.
