A massive thank you to the Ashford Lions who once again allowed us to join Santa for two evenings before Christmas.
We raised £740 over those two evenings, half of which was given to us and the other half retained by the Lions for their activities.
These evenings are always lots of fun, and we were so grateful to all our volunteers who braved the cold to support us!
It was lovely meeting up with some of our wonderful volunteers yesterday for our Christmas 'Thank You' event.
After another very busy year with so many events and activities, it was nice to see everyone and to be able to have a chance to catch-up.
Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers - we could not exist without you!
On Saturday 5 November at 11.30, there will be a baby memorial service at Canterbury Cathedral, organised by 'Saying Goodbye', part of the Mariposa Trust.
This is one of around eighteen similar events taking place around the UK in cathedrals and abbeys, reflecting the fact that our special babies deserve special places.
Each follows a similar format and is secular, open to anyone affected by the loss of a baby at any time, and in any circumstances.
There is no charge but you do need to book places - full details, and the link to the booking form, is here. https://www.sayinggoodbye.org/services/information/
We had hoped to be able to have some information at the service about the Ashford Baby Memorial Garden as we are conscious that there may well be many local people there, but that was not to be!
