Tell us about your event or virtual event via this short form
From participating in the virtual Wave of Light, to holding an online Remembrance Event in your back garden, there are still ways to organise, hold and participate in events for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2023.
Virtual Events are a great way to bring people together, along with family garden events at home or community activities such as Remembrance Wall Displays or Ribbon Remembrance Displays.
We have a range of great materials you can use such as Ribbon Bunting and Colour-In Ribbons here.
We will continue to update this page with any events confirmed for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2023.
If you have any event you would like to be listed for 2023, please let us know by submitting the short form above.
