Closed petition Memorial Book for pregnancy/baby loss prior to 24 weeks in England

Closed on 20 September 2023

We want to mirror what is being done in Scotland and create Memorial Book for those who have experienced a pregnancy or baby loss prior to 24 weeks.

Along with the book, those who have experienced a loss will get a commemorative certificate which is intended to give recognition and comfort.
