Supporting Baby Loss Awareness Week

From Friday 9th to Thursday 15th October, awareness is raised for Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Baby Loss Awareness Week is an opportunity to bring us together as a community and give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone.

At 7pm, on Thursday 15th October, everyone is encouraged to light a candle for one hour to stand with those who are unfortunately going through or have gone through a baby loss. The SCDF will be supporting the cause by lighting a candle at the BrewDog Stadium tonight.
