Shared Memories 2026

Families affected by the loss of a baby or child are being invited to come together for a special memorial event at Bradford Royal Infirmary this summer.

The annual ‘Shared Memories’ service will take place at the Listening for Life Centre on 4 July at 11am. Open to anyone seeking comfort and reflection, the event welcomes people of all beliefs and backgrounds.

Delivered in partnership with Bradford Hospitals Charity, the Trust’s spiritual, pastoral and religious care (SPaRC) team, and its children’s, neonatal and maternity services, the event is designed to offer a calm, supportive space for remembrance and reflection.

This year’s gathering will centre on The Invisible String by Patrice Karst, a book that explores the enduring bonds between loved ones, even after loss.

The service will last approximately 45 minutes, followed by refreshments.

Location: The Listening for Life Centre is located off Smith Lane, Bradford, BD9 5HU.
