The Simpson's Memorial Box Appeal (SiMBA) 2017 butterfly release will be held on Saturday August 12 in Glen Nevis, starting at 11.30am.
Butterflies (painted ladies) must be ordered by Friday July 28. No butterflies will be available to buy on the day. This year is about child loss, not just the loss of a baby, so the lives of all children lost can be marked and celebrated.
The event will include music by Ingrid Henderson, crafts, face painting and butterfly glitter tattoos for children, followed by refreshments.
The event gives people the chance to gather in beautiful surroundings and remember the beauty of children alongside others who have lost a baby or child.
For more information on what SiMBA can offer and to order butterflies call Leah Whyte on 07482 724461 or lochabersimbacharity@gmail.com or search Fort William Butterfly Release on Facebook.
