Candle and Diya Workshop

The Light We Carry

A creative and supportive workshop for parents and families affected by pregnancy or baby loss. Come together to make a candle and decorate a diya in memory of babies who are deeply loved and never forgotten, while connecting with others in the baby loss community.

Sands, the pregnancy and baby loss charity, warmly invites parents and families affected by pregnancy or baby loss to a special candle and diya workshop. This workshop is a creative space in which participants can make a candle and decorate a diya in memory of babies who are deeply loved and never forgotten, while connecting with others in the baby loss community.

Following the success of our London candle and diya workshop, we are delighted to bring this event to Birmingham, in collaboration with Seyi and Shaheda, bereaved mums who bring heartfelt lived experiences from both African and Caribbean and South Asian communities.

All materials will be provided, everyone is welcome, but spaces are limited, so please book early to secure your place.

Please note this workshop is for age 16 and over
