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.

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.

The Government’s latest housing proposals could bring long-awaited change for homeowners and leaseholders across the UK. From leasehold reform to faster cladding remediation, the measures announced in the King’s Speech aim to improve transparency, safety and fairness while restoring confidence throughout the property market.

When the sun shines, the UK property market comes alive. Brighter days don’t just lift moods they draw in more buyers, enhance kerb appeal, and help homes show at their very best. Summer offers a golden opportunity for sellers to attract attention, create emotional connections, and ultimately secure stronger, faster offers.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
