for parents to lose a baby. We wanted to stage an event to help raise funds
to improve our maternity bereavement suite for families who have suffered
such a loss. This is such an important cause and we would love to see more
support on the night. Ticket sales are going well but we would love to sell
more tickets in the forthcoming weeks."
