Charities encourage Island to go pink and blue for Baby Loss Awareness Week

Local charities are encouraging the Island to go pink and blue to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Heavenly Footprints and A Little Piece of Hope are teaming up to raise awareness of the impact of losing a child.

Throughout the week landmarks, shops, businesses and offices will light up and be decorated in pink and blue.

The occasion gives those who have lost a baby the opportunity to come together and remember them. 

The week will end with a 'Wave of Light' on October 15, where people can light a candle at 7pm.
