A problem has occurred
We're sorry but a problem has occurred. The developers have been notified and will investigate as soon as possible.
Are you a keen crocheter? Or would like to give it a go? Our funeral homes are collecting small crochet butterflies in a combination of white and either yellow, light green, pink or blue, or alternatively in plain white, yellow, light green, pink or blue from Monday 22nd August - Friday 23rd September 2022. (But it doesn't matter if they're a different colour or are knitted, all donations are welcome.)
As part of the Baby Loss Awareness campaign, the butterflies will be available to collect during October 2022 in our funeral homes by people who have lost a child or know someone that has.
Benefits include lowering blood pressure, countering depression and stimulating a sense of calm and wellbeing.
Why not give it a go and help us make as many butterflies as possible 🦋
We've included instructions from Bella Coco on how to make these beautiful butterflies below. The instructions are also available as a downloadable PDF for you to print at home.
We've also made a handy video tutorial.
Once you've created these keepsakes, please drop them off at any of our funeral homes. You can find your nearest branch here.
Thank you for taking part!
