BabySTEPPs are marking BabyLoss Awareness Month this October. The candlelit memorial will take place on October 15th at 7pm.

A statement from BabySTEPPS follows below:

As in previous years, we will be joining the global “Wave of Light” candlelit memorial on October 15th, held between 7-8pm in every timezone around the world. 

We invite all those affected by babyloss at any stage, whether recently or long-ago bereaved, to join us in lighting a candle either in person at the Westview Park event, at home, or on social media. 

The Moorish Castle will also be lit up pink and blue between 9th-15th October in memory of our babies.

In addition, as we have done for the last few years, BabySTEPPs are investing in training within our community to support professionals who may be supporting families through the loss of a baby. 

This year, we are focussing on specialist training for counsellors, and invite those who are interested and eligible to contact us via our expression of interest form:
