Smyllum was an orphanage in North Lanark, where many children experienced abuse from the Daughters of Charity who ran the institution.

Each year, INCAS supports a memorial service for the deceased children of Smyllum and all children who have died while in care. 

This year, the memorial service will be held on Saturday 3 August at 1pm, at St Mary’s Cemetery in Lanark.

If arriving early, some survivors meet in Valeros Cafe on the High Street before the service.

After the service, a light lunch will be provided. The venue for this will be announced at the end of the service. 

INCAS welcome all who may wish to attend this private memorial. However, in order to provide catering on the day, please do let INCASE know if you are attending. Send a short message to Helen on 07960 993444.
