When someone loses a baby, it is an isolating, devastating and life-changing experience. That’s why the Sands community is so important – to support families through their loss and to grow around grief.
And it's why, this June, Sands wants to bring people closer together, because we all play a role in making a difference to bereaved families and saving babies' lives.
