South Lanarkshire Council played its part in turning the area blue and pink for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2023.Meanwhile, the council’s chair of education, Councillor Lynsey Hamilton, is leading an initiative to display the campaign’s distinctive blue and pink ribbons at local authority offices in Almada Street, where the headquarters are.
The aim is to create an eye-catching display of blue and pink in memory of babies lost too soon in families across South Lanarkshire. White ribbons were also made available for those who did not know the sex of their babies.Baby Loss Awareness Week is now in its 21st year and was established to create a way for those in the baby loss community to collectively remember much-loved and missed babies.
Councillor Hamilton said: “I hope that our plans for this week, and the very welcome support of the council, will spark conversations about baby loss and give local bereaved parents and families an opportunity to talk about their precious babies.
