Why Sands United matters

Sadly, every day in the UK, 13 families suffer the heartbreak of losing their baby before, during or shortly after birth and it is estimated 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, so talking to other people about their bereavement is vital.

But men can sometimes struggle to talk about how they’re feeling and can often be overlooked. Sands United is a support network helping bereaved men to break their silence about baby loss and encouraging others to do the  same.
