Tonight at 6pm we light landmark buildings orange to mark the final day of #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek. Thankyou @BpoolCouncil for sharing the first photo of Blackpool Tower which leads the light up. Please join us this evening, at 6pm in lighting a candle in memory of someone this Christmas. Share a photo and we will remember them with you. 🕯️🧡 The Blackpool Tower is lit in orange this evening in support of Grief Awareness Week. Be kind and gentle with yourself this festive season, when joy and grief can often sit side by side 🧡 If you’re dealing with grief or bereavement, we want you to know you’re not alone.
