A Baby Loss Walk will run along Parkland Walk on Sunday 11 October, part of Baby Loss Awareness Week. Anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss is welcome. Meet at the Holmesdale Road entrance at 3.30pm; the walk begins at 3.45pm.
It ends at the Baby Loss Tree, with music and short readings. It is organised by Hilary Grierson in memory of her son, Hamish, and this year raises money for Abigail's Footsteps, which will put it towards in-person counselling. Pink and blue ribbons are also on display at Priory Park, behind the basketball courts, and the Alexandra Palace mast is lit in pink and blue today, Friday 9 October.
The council's announcement mentions no booking. A walk in the open, with no need to explain yourself, is an easy thing to turn up to.
