Carry Their Names

Oh the places you'll go - Dr Seuss

We are delighted to announce the much-anticipated return of our beloved #CarryTheirNames campaign for 2023, and this year, we have an exciting twist in store. The campaign runs from now until October, concluding with Baby Loss Awareness Week from 9th to 15th October.

 

If you’re new to our Carry Their Names campaign, Carry Their Names is a heartfelt initiative created by MAMA Academy to remember all of our precious babies that are no longer with us.

Sadly, approximately 4,500 babies are stillborn or pass away shortly after birth every year in the UK, equivalent to around 13 every DAY. We want to make a difference. 

As we embark on our summer adventures, we carry our children’s names with us, whether to the park, the beach, or special family events. We invite you to share your photos using #CarryTheirNames, allowing us to join you in cherishing these precious memories. 

Baby loss effects the whole family, therefore, we also welcome bereaved families, uncles, aunties, grandparents, friends to carry their precious babies who are no longer with us to places they will never get to go. This will help raise awareness of baby loss. 

This year, Carry Their Names returns with a special opportunity. Join us in honouring the cherished memory of your child by adding your baby’s name to our stunning wall of hearts on our dedicated webpage:

Select a ribbon and forever etch your baby’s name on our virtual memory heart, serving as a touching tribute that will keep their memory alive.
