Turn Ayrshire Pink & Blue

We ask each year for as many places as possible to light up pink & blue to remember all babies lost and show support to all bereaved families. If you are lighting up Pink & Blue this year, please send us your pictures.

Ribbon Remembrance

How to get involved

Perhaps your local library, doctor’s surgery, hospital or workplace would be happy to host a remembrance wall/tree and display for Baby Loss Awareness Week. Get permission to have your display during 9 – 15 October.

Or use your own windows at home, make you own ribbons and use to decorate or download the ribbon and bunting template, print and cut out the ribbons and use them to decorate your display
