Our annual Babyloss Awareness Balloon Release will take place this year on Sunday 16th October, 3pm-4pm at Belfast Castle. It is always such a lovely way to spend some time remembering our little ones, so we would love you to come along. Please feel free to bring along the whole family, this is very much a family day. It is always a very poignant moment as we watch all the balloons float gently off.
Life After Loss representatives will be available in the Donegall Room from 3pm. If you would like to write a message on a tag for your baby, you will be able to get some tags there, and they will be placed on a balloon for you before the balloons are released.
A number of our local MLA’s and MP’s have already confirmed their attendance to stand alongside us and show their respects for our babies, if you think you could help by inviting your local politicians to attend by email, please Contact Us for help on how to go about this.

Hi there,
we
just wanted to leave a note saying how great the annual balloon release was today.
This is the first time we had heard of lifeafterloss, & we feel it is such a great, caring & much needed charity. we lost our son after 3 days 11 years ago. he was diagnosed with Edwards syndrome, which is incompatible with life.
watching the balloons being relised into the sky, really does have a heart warming feeling. watching them drift free in the wind, until they are no longer in sight is so emotional & makes us think of our loss. thank you all so much & we wish the charity well. Mandy & Craig.

Hiya, this is lovely. I lost my daughter at 24 weeks in January this year. I was wondering will there be a release this year? Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering how buying the online tags work, how do you leave the message you want on it? I bought a tag but wasn’t sure how I go about placing a message on the tag.
