Choosing Hope is a walk of honour and remembrance supporting families who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or infancy.

Held each October in recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, the event brings the community together for a meaningful morning of reflection, connection and support. Participants will take part in a 3.4km walk along The Strand, followed by a remembrance service to honour and remember the babies who are forever loved and never forgotten.

This family-friendly event supports Bears of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support, with all ticket sales and donations going directly towards providing support for bereaved families.
