Saying Goodbye, (part of the Mariposa Trust) are coming to Perth in September with a brand new Baby loss support remembrance and support service (part of a Nationwide chain of events). Due to Covid-19 this is not the original service we had planned but we are happy to be able to bring bereaved parents across Perth a service.
The Mariposa Trust’s core objective is to support people who have lost babies at any stage of pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy. It was founded in 2012, by Zoe and Andy Clark-Coates, who saw a critical lack of support for people like them, who had gone through baby loss. With over 258,000 babies being lost yearly in the UK alone, the charity needed to be able to offer not only a comprehensive package of befriending and support but also national baby loss remembrance services (called Saying Goodbye Services), for people to join together and remember the children they had lost. 5 years on over 120 services have taken place at Cathedrals and churches across the UK, US and France, and 2020 will see services across the England, Wales and Scotland, Covid-19 permitting.
On the 6th September in Perth Cathedral, we will be offering two back to back services : 3pm til 3.30pm and 3.45pm til 4.15pm.
