Starlight Walk is a commemorative walk taking place in multiple location across the UK, where we invite participants to walk under the stars in memory of all the much loved and missed babies gone too soon. You can take part at an event near you, host your own Starlight Walk with your family & friends, or take part virtually at a location of your choice.

Do I have to fundraise?

It isn’t essential, but by fundraising for your Starlight Walk, you will be helping us to save babies’ lives and reach bereaved families. If you’re not fundraising, we would be so grateful if you’d consider making a donation. You can do this directly onto your fundraising page or via our website here.

Whether you choose to fundraise or not, you are helping us to raise vital awareness and break the silence around baby loss. Thank you.
