A special service will be held at a church in St Neots during Baby Loss Awareness Week.

A local family who have experienced the pain of baby loss are organising a Baby Loss Awareness Service to provide support to other families affected by the tragedy.

On Sunday, October 13 the service will be held at St Mary's Church in Eaton Socon from 5pm until 6pm.

The service will be a space to remember the lives lost, reflect and share strength, and will be a quiet space for contemplation.

The bereaved family have said that their grief journey showed them that there needs to be more accessible support and services in the area for anyone who has experienced baby loss.

They hope that the church service will show other families that they are not alone.

A Facebook group has been set up for anyone who is interested in attending the service. You can access it by clicking here.

You can also get in touch on the Facebook page if you are able to support the event, either by distributing leaflets, providing lights for outside of the church, advertising the event, or providing after-service refreshments.
