Baby Loss Awareness Week, 9th - 15th October 2024

Baby Loss Awareness Week takes place every October and provides an opportunity for all those effected by baby loss to come together in remembrance and commemoration.  The campaign also aims to raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss and the importance of bereavement support.  Many of the UK’s leading charities involved in Baby Loss Awareness Week also work on driving change and helping to prevent baby deaths and pregnancy loss.
