LERWICK Town Hall has been lit up in blue and pink to mark baby loss awareness week.

The building will remain lit up in these colours for the rest of the week.

The national baby loss awareness week, which is now in its 19th year, runs from today (Saturday) through to Friday.

It aims to give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone.


Anyone affected by stillbirth and neonatal death can access support from the Shetland branch of Sands via 07341945028 or support@shetlandsands.co.uk.

More information is available on the national Sands charity website.
