Our annual Lights of Love service where we have poems, readings, and singing. During the service you will be able to light a candle in memory of your baby. There is also a Christmas tree for you to write a tag and hang on the tree.
We also ask if you can bring an item for the raffle (anything...bottle of wine, chocolates, box of biscuits, smellies etc) and a toy suitable for your babies age unwrapped in a gift bag which we donate to Boomerang charity.
Tomorrow evening at Thornhill Crematorium in Cardiff. All welcome, candles are provided. If you want to visit a loved one while at the crematorium can you please do this before the service as the gates will be closed not long after the service has finished #babylossawarenessweek

Women and families need a clear route to ask for urgent help if they're worried about their baby's health. 'Call for Concern' in maternity and neonatal wards across Wales will give parents a stronger voice when something might be wrong.
