The death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth is a devastating experience with lifelong consequences for the whole family. Sadly, each year thousands of families face such heartache, with over 100 babies dying every week. Although the UK’s stillbirth rate has fallen slightly in recent years, it remains unacceptably high.

Sands work to support bereaved families and improve the care they receive as well as fund vital research to prevent more families suffering the loss of their precious baby. To do this, Sands rely on the generosity of fundraisers and donors and your help is greatly appreciated.

Earlier this year, two of my good friends were supported by Sands after the tragic passing away of their baby daughter; this is what inspired me to raise money for Sands, to support them in supporting families through such difficult times.
