Support Sands through a Trust or Foundation
Help Sands to save babies’ lives and improve maternity safety and bereavement care
Charitable trusts and foundations play an important role in helping Sands to reduce the number of babies dying and to ensure that when a baby does die anyone affected receives the best possible care and support for as long as it's needed.
If you are a trustee or have contact with a trust or foundation we would love to hear from you.
“I am a mother, but not the mother I thought I would be I am a mother who didn’t get to take her baby home”
– Katie, bereaved parent.
Why support Sands
As the UK’s leading pregnancy and baby loss charity, we’re creating a community of compassionate and lifesaving changemakers. Sadly, currently, every day in the UK, 13 babies die shortly before, during or soon after birth. And evidence suggests that at least 1 in 6 pregnancies end in miscarriage. This heartbreak leaves a deep and lasting impact on the lives of parents and families.
Sands:
- supports anyone touched by pregnancy or baby loss
- works in partnership with the NHS and healthcare professionals to improve maternity safety and bereavement care
- promotes improvements in practice and supports research to help save babies' lives.
Everything we do – the services we run, the public health messages we promote, the way we raise money – is focused around these three aims.
