Why we need you  

Sands works across the country to support anyone affected by the death of a baby; improve the care bereaved parents receive from health care and other professionals; and reduce the number of babies who do die by funding research and working closely with other organisations to create a world where fewer babies die. We couldn’t do any of this without the support of groups and associations like you – so thank you.

Looking for inspiration? 

There’s an endless possibilities when it comes to how you want to support Sands. You might already have an event planned and be looked for a beneficiary, or you might want to plan something new. In the past, fundraisers have organised: 

          Summer/Winter fairs 

          Quiz Nights 

          Golf days 

          Games Nights – Bridge? Rummy? Board games? 

          Murder Mystery Nights 

          Coffee mornings 

          Bring and buy sales 

Whilst some of these events might seem impossible with the current COVID-19 guidance and restrictions, our Fundraising team are on hand with lots of suggestions on how to make them virtual, socially-distanced and safe – drop us an email to fundraising@sands.org.uk  

Giving you a helping hand

Keeping it safe and legal 

Fundraising is all about having fun and raising money but it’s also subject to laws and legislation. Check out our guidance on what you need to know and make sure anything you do is in line with national and local government coronavirus guidance.
