Sands has a nationwide group of local networks run by bereaved parents to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby. The Northern Ireland Network is part of this network and 100% of your donations will be used to support their work. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Sands will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.  The Gift Aid is used to support Sands work across the UK.
