Southern Trust remembrance service for babies and children

The Southern Trust is hosting a special service of remembrance and thanksgiving for parents and families who have been bereaved through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby, child or young person in Daisy Hill Hospital or the wider community.

The service will take place on Sunday 27 November at 3.00pm in Newry Town Hall.

The event is being organised by the Trust’s Maternity and Children Services with support from the Chaplaincy Team and Bereavement Coordinator.

Wendy Clarke, Head of Midwifery and Gynaecology for the Southern Health and Social Care Trust said:  “We warmly invite anyone who has lost a baby or child, their family and friends to this service where we will reflect and remember them.

“You may wish to bring a flower with you as there will be an opportunity to create a floral tribute in memory of your child.

“Our Books of Remembrance, where the names of babies and children who have died are written, will also be on display.”
