Nearly 20 services will be held around the UK, allowing bereaved parents, families and friends to join together in acknowledging and remembering babies that have gone too soon. The services are organised by The Mariposa Trust, which held its first service in 2012, and celebrated its 100 th service at the end of 2017 in Westminster, London. The charity now provides support that reaches over 50,000 people each week through its six divisions offering support through baby loss, pregnancy after baby loss, fertility, adoption and more. If you or anyone you know has been affected by the loss of a child do let them know and come along to the service. Those who have attended in the past have found the service to be a great comfort and help. ALPHA COURSE Alpha starts on Thursday 1 st November at 4.30pm.

UNDERCLIFFE CEMETERY PROJECT When Church Bank was created at the end of the 19 th Century, 1400 graves were removed to Undercliffe Cemetery, where a new mass grave was created. Over the years, however, this grave has sadly been lost in the undergrowth which has overtaken parts of the Cemetery. A conservation team has recently re-discovered this mass grave and would like to do some restoration work on it, which will be organised by the Trustees of Undercliffe Cemetery Charity, but needs some financial support to make this happen. This work is a really good piece of community engagement and I have been asked if the Cathedral might ask for donations towards the work, which will be carried out by the volunteers who are clearing parts of this wonderful heritage Cemetery. The idea would be to do the work in the new year and I would rededicate this mass grave next Summer. We are aiming to raise 750 in support of the required work and if you would like to make a donation towards the Cathedral s response to this project, please put your gift in an envelope marked Undercliffe Cemetery. Gifts can be gift aided and cheques should be made payable to Bradford Cathedral please. Many thanks.
