Creating meaningful spaces where people can come together in grief is an important part of what we do. Recently, families, partners and community members gathered at Bunurong Memorial Park for the Say Their Name Day service, held with Red Nose Australia, to remember babies and children gone too soon. This year, Red Nose’s Blue Wren symbol gently reminded us that even after loss, love and memories stay close. The service offered a heartfelt moment to share stories, say names and remember together. Red Nose Australia Community Engagement Coordinator Fotini Koklas said: “This is my second year working with SMCT, and our partnership means so much to us. We were honoured to have SMCT CEO Ingrid Harvey open the service, and the feedback from families made it a really special day.” Thank you to our dedicated team and partners for helping create a warm, welcoming space for connection and remembrance. 💙 📷Photos: Fotini with Ingrid and Programs and Partnerships team members Leah Grier and Jacqui Ueckert. #SayTheirName #Community #Cemeteries #Partnerships #Remembrance
