Support & Services we offer

Support Meetings
We currently hold both face-to-face and virtual support meetings.
For more information please visit our Support Meetings page

Befriending
ABLS provides a befriending service, where trained volunteers who have experienced baby loss offer one-to-one support.
Befrienders are always available at our support meetings, but they can also provide support by offering telephone support and email support if you find this way the easiest.
​
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to talk, it's why we are here.

Memorial Trees
We have three memorial trees that offer the opportunity to honour the memory of your baby, with engraved leaves or hearts containing your baby's details mounted on them.
For more information on these or to request a plaque please see our Memorial Trees' page.

Remembrance Birthday Cards
We would be honoured to remember your wee one by sending a card for birthdays or special dates along with putting a message up of their name on our social media.
