A Forth Valley charity is hosting a memorial service for families who have lost a baby next month.

The Lights of Love event organised by Forth Valley Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity) will be held in Stirling.

It will provide parents and families the opportunity to come together at what can be a difficult time of year for many.

The service will consist of traditional carols, inspiring readings and music. There will also be an opportunity for people to light a candle in memory of their child.

Parents are also invited to bring along a gift for the age their child would have been this Christmas.

Gifts should be wrapped up, labelled boy or girl and age, and placed at the Christmas tree. All of these gifts will then be donated to a local charity.

The service will take place in St Mary’s Church, Upper Bridge Street on Friday, December 6 at 7.30pm.
