Families affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby are being invited to attend special memorial services in Durham and Darlington.
The services, organised by the chaplaincy team at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, will provide an opportunity for families to come together and remember their loss.
Trust senior chaplain Saquib Ahmed said: "These services of remembrance and thanksgiving are for anyone who has been affected by this very sad experience, including wider families and regardless of whether the loss was recent or in the more distant past."
The first service will be held at 4pm on Sunday, October 11, at Holy Trinity on Woodland Road, Darlington.
The second service will be held at 7.15pm on Wednesday, October 15, at St Cuthbert’s Church on North Road, Durham.
