This group has been set up to work together to create a suitable memorial to all the babies in Fife whose ashes may not have been returned to their families.
A summary of each meeting will be posted here along with regular progress updates.

Introduction to DWA
We know everyone deals with grief differently and individual families will have different views on what kind of memorial they would want to see in Fife. It is important to us that we get the views of as many bereaved parents as possible. If you are one of these parents and would like to give your views please get in touch by emailing babies.memorial@fife.gov.uk
We recognise that communication around a memorial may bring many feelings to the surface that you may not have had to deal with for a long time and cause you further upset. That is not our intention and if you would like to speak with someone about your feelings, we have listed below contact details for some organisations who specialise in child bereavement support below.
