Sands is here for anyone affected by the death of a baby.  

When a baby dies the feelings of loneliness and isolation can be overwhelming, so talking to other people about their bereavement is vital. 

Men can sometimes struggle to talk about how they’re feeling and can be overlooked or struggle to find ways of getting support that suits them. 

We hope that by building trust and a common bond, by playing together as a team, many more will be able to break their silence about baby loss and help others to do the same. 

Playing team sports can aid the grieving process by helping lift someone's mood, give them a focus, help with sleep problems, and reduce feelings of isolation. 

Support for you

Sands runs a dedicated private Facebook Group for bereaved men, where people can share stories and find others who can relate to what they are going through, helping each other feel less alone. 
Support is also available through our Men’s Online Support Meetings, which run monthly and provide a safe and confidential space for men to share how they feel, if they are ready to do so. 

You can also use our free Helpline, explore our online community and network of local support groups and visit our Sands support page
