Annual baby and child remembrance service to be held in Lancaster

There will be an opportunity to write your baby's name on the memory tree and to light a candle.

Families who have been affected by baby loss are invited to join an annual service of remembrance in Lancaster.

University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) will hold its service on Sunday November 22 at 2pm at St Thomas' Church.

The remembrance service will include Christian readings and prayers, but everyone is welcome to attend.

The service will offer a peaceful setting where families can remember their baby, and find comfort in being able to share their loss with others who have gone through a similar experience.

There is also an opportunity to write your baby's name on the memory tree and to light a candle.

"Baby loss affects many families and we hope offering space to remember those babies who have died helps families in the run up to Christmas," said Amy Bland, Chaplain at UHMBT.

"Often our culture says that during the month of December we must all be happy, but for many people this is a time of mixed emotions.

"The baby loss service is there for families to come, however they are feeling, and have space to remember their babies."

The trust will also hold a service on Wednesday December 2 at the Furness General Hospital Chapel in Barrow-in-Furness.
