Bolton Town Hall with shine pink and blue on Monday for Baby Loss Awareness Week.

The iconic building will be lit up in support of parents who have lost a baby. The national campaign, held from October 9 to 15, raises awareness about the key issues affecting those who have experienced the loss of a child.

Leader of Bolton Council, Cllr Linda Thomas, said: “We hope that turning the town hall pink and blue will encourage more people to talk about baby loss. Every year, thousands are affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby."

Baby loss occurs in many forms including stillbirth, miscarriage and neonatal death.
