Nikki asked to lead National Babyloss Awareness Week act of remembrance

Nikki Foster-Kruczek (Church Army Evangelist and Mission and Ministry Development Officer for the Walbrook Epiphany Team, Derby) will be leading the annual act of remembrance that marks the end of Babyloss Awareness week (October 9th-16th). The week aims to raise awareness of issues around pregnancy, loss, neo-natal death and still-birth and aims to support those families affected. Five charities are involved in the week

The service will be held on Friday 15th October at 6.30pm at the Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol St, London EC1.

The act of remembrance will have a “spiritual" rather than a religious emphasis and will include poetry, music and candle lighting. The aim will be to make it accessible for families of any faith and none.

Nikki Foster-Kruczek has put together the service and will lead it, in her capacity as a bereaved parent who has the necessary skills to be able to help others to remember and cope with this type of loss.

Nikki and her husband Matt Kruczek are both Church Army evangelists who lost three children in early pregnancy. They both work as telephone helpline volunteers for the Miscarriage Association and Nikki is a member of the organisation's board of trustees.

Nikki comments; “I consider it a privilege to have been asked to lead this service and would ask you all to pray that those attending will be strengthened and comforted by their shared experience, and that they will know the hope that is ours through Christ.”
