This week we ran a special walk session for those touched by baby loss. We rested together, painted memory stones and created this beautiful mandala in memory of our little ones and to connect with others who know the loss of a little one.

At R&R we are always here throughout the year and if you would like some support please know you can always talk to us. Sending our thoughts and warmth out to all. Helen and Team R&R
