Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are raising money for a cause which is often not spoken about. We believe in supporting those who go through this loss and the work of Sands Charity…
Sands is the UK's leading pregnancy and baby loss charity in the UK. They are determined to save every life they can, and will make sure the right care and support is there for every bereaved family, whenever and wherever they need it.
Babies are dying every day. Currently in the UK, 13 families a day suffer the heartbreak of losing their baby before, during or shortly after birth.
Sands are here for anyone affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support.
Currently, far too many babies die without scientists, doctors, midwives, or their own parents understanding why. That’s why we believe research is vital in improving our understanding of how to save babies’ lives and using that evidence to drive changes in maternity policy and practice.
Sands provides bereavement support services both nationally through its Freephone helpline, mobile app, online community and resources, and locally through a UK-wide network of around 100 regional support groups.
Sands works in partnership with health care professionals, trusts and health boards and offers a range of training programmes and bereavement care resources to ensure that every bereaved parent and family receives the best possible care wherever they are in the UK.
Sands supports and promotes research to better understand the causes of baby deaths and save babies’ lives. The charity also raises awareness of baby loss and works with governments, key influencers and other stakeholders to make reducing the number of babies dying a priority nationally and locally.
