Derian House lit up in pink and blue to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week
Over the past week, Derian House was illuminated in pink and blue lights in recognition of Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October) – a time when thousands of parents, families, and friends come together to remember babies whose lives were far too short.
As darkness fell each evening, our hospice building glowed in these colours, joining organisations worldwide in commemorating much-loved and deeply missed babies.
This idea came from bereaved Derian parents, Kirsty and Jonathon Prescott, whose daughter, Iris Joy, was laid to rest at Derian House in 2021.
To honour every little life lost, we stood alongside thousands of people across the globe to share an image of a candle at 7pm on Wednesday 15 October, creating a powerful Wave of Light in remembrance of babies who were too precious for this earth.
Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative and helped us shine a light for families in their memory and love.
