Baby Loss Awareness Week at Amos: Our Community Wrapped in Love

Baby Loss Awareness Week at Amos: Our Community Wrapped in Love

This Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th–15th October), our firm, Amos Estates have been working with Holly & Lee Gisby to ensure the shopping areas of Hockley, Thundersley and Rayleigh are adorned with hundreds of lovingly knitted hearts placed on local railings, a moving tribute to babies gone too soon.


The colourful Baby Loss Awareness Week display is more than just beautiful; it's powerful. Each heart symbolises a life lost, a family grieving, and a community standing in quiet solidarity. It’s a heartfelt reminder that baby loss affects many, often in silence, and deserves recognition and support.

These hearts also serve to raise awareness for a deeply personal cause. Local couple Holly and Lee Gisby are fundraising through Abigail’s Charity, where they aim to provide more cold cots to hospitals, giving bereaved families precious time to say goodbye.

Cold cots offer dignity in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. By supporting the Gisby family’s campaign, we can help ensure other families are given the gift of time, love, and memory.

As you pass by the railings this week, take a moment to reflect. Let’s break the silence around baby loss, honour tiny lives, and support a cause that brings comfort when it’s needed most.

As the Autumn Budget approaches, the property market does something strangely predictable: it takes a collective sip of tea, raises an eyebrow, and decides to wait and see what happens next. Buyers who were enthusiastic a week ago suddenly hover in “nearly ready” mode, as if the Chancellor himself might pop up and personally adjust their mortgages.

As November draws near, red poppies begin to bloom across lapels, symbolising remembrance, gratitude, and unity. Each year, the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal brings communities together to honour those who have served and sacrificed in the Armed Forces. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and give back and thanks to the tireless RBL volunteers.

If you’re planning to buy a home soon, you might assume the best place to start is on the property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. But the truth is, the savviest buyers are seeing homes long before they ever appear online. Here’s why registering with an agent puts you one step ahead.
