Bells for Heaven - Joseph's Smile

Bells for Heaven 2027

At midday on Christmas Eve, we encourage everyone to ring a bell to remember our beautiful children who are spending Christmas in Heaven.

To help us share the message of Bells for Heaven, we will be joining Christmas parades across Wales, carrying our illuminated memory star lanterns in honour of the children who are forever in our hearts.

We have created a beautiful, heartfelt tribute featuring a glowing Angel and countless memory star lanterns, each dedicated to a precious child in Heaven. As we bring Bells for Heaven to Llandudno, Caerphilly, Swansea, Ystradgynlais and Brynamman, we hope to create a special moment of love, remembrance and togetherness for families and communities.

If you would like to dedicate a star lantern to your child, please complete the form below by November 14^th 2027.

Together, we will shine a light of love and remembrance for the children we hold forever in our hearts.
