In 2002 #BabyLossAwarenessWeek (9-15 October 2022) was established in remembrance of all the much-loved babies who have passed away too soon due to miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, and other causes of infant loss, whilst raising awareness of the thousands of families affected by loss each year.
The week is also an opportunity for bereaved parents and their families and friends to unite with others across the globe to commemorate their babies’ lives. Moreover, Baby Loss Awareness Week is to drive improvement in care and support for those affected by pregnancy and baby loss. We invite you to join in on these efforts to create awareness about such an important issue.
Research from @Tommy’s shows that 1 in 4 people in the in the UK experience pregnancy or baby loss. Your #PayrollGiving donation to charities like @Tommy’s , @TinyLife Child Bereavement UK @Scottish Cot Death Trust can help provide support for families during this traumatic time.
