Every parent expects to bring their baby home, but tragically we know for thousands of people every year this is not the case.
Give a gift today to ensure every bereaved family get the support they need and deserve and to save the lives of babies yet to be born.
For so many bereaved parents and their families, living with loss can feel isolating, they can feel a lone in their grief and many will not understand why their baby died. At Sands we are determined to ensure that these families get the support they need and deserve. We want to make the UK the safest place in the world to have a baby. By supporting Sands, you have a unique opportunity to make an impact on the lives of parents today and babies yet to be born.
Give the greatest gift you can and help support a bereaved family and help save a baby's life. We know not enough progress is being made against research and there is a risk of going backwards. It doesn't need to be this way. We are striving to change this through targeted research to improve maternity safety and create better care.
How your gift of support could help:
£20 - provides a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby
£25 - Could go towards supporting our webinars for healthcare professionals to make maternity care safer.
£100 – helps us train a new volunteer to offer peer support to other bereaved parents
With your support we can make change happen.
