Burnham and mid-Essex radio station to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week
A radio station which serves Burnham-on-Crouch and other areas in mid Essex is planning to raise awareness of baby loss during its daytime programmes this month.
Chelmer Radio will highlight the isolation many local people experience after pregnancy and baby loss - including women, partners, other family members and friends.
David Baker, the programme director at Chelmer Radio, said: "This is a hugely distressing and emotional time for many people.
"What we aim to do is let people out there know there is help and how good it is to talk.
"We are also trying to get as many businesses and organisations to light up their buildings in pink and blue to pay tribute to those beautiful babies who have been lost."
A series of interviews will be aired on the daytime show from 10am until 1pm each day from Saturday 9 October to Friday 15 October, which is when Baby Loss Awareness Week will take place.
Each year, Baby Loss Awareness Week aims to get people talking about pregnancy and baby death in the UK.
To find support if you have experienced baby loss, more information on how to get involved in raising awareness and to donate, visit Baby Loss Awareness Week's website using the link here.
