A MEMORIAL service for babies who have died before or soon after birth will take place this week.
The annual service of thanksgiving and remembrance will take place on Wednesday (March 4) at St. Cuthbert’s Church, North Road, Durham, starting at 7pm.
Families who have lost a baby in any way, but especially those who have suffered a miscarriage or stillbirth, are invited to attend to remember their baby.
During the service, the names of the babies to be remembered will be read, and there will be the opportunity for families to light candles in memory of their baby.
The annual service is organised and led by the chaplaincy team at the University Hospital of North Durham, on behalf of County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.
Refreshments will be served following the service.
For further details, please contact the chaplaincy team at UHND on 0191 333 2183.
