Sands is the UK's leading charity speaking up about pregnancy and baby loss, saving babies' lives and supporting bereaved families. We're creating a community of compassionate and lifesaving changemakers.
But we can only continue our vital work with your support.
When you donate or fundraise for Sands, you are helping to provide vital support to bereaved families, create tools and training for professionals to ensure families get the care they need, and save babies' lives through research, training and campaigning. You can find out more in our latest impact report.
Local support for bereaved families across the UK
The money you raise helps us to run a UK-wide network of local groups offering peer support in the community for anyone touched by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
Here for anyone living with baby loss
The money you raise helps us to offer specialist, trauma-informed, confidential and free bereavement support to anyone touched by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby, no matter how long ago. It means we can expand our services and ensure they are accessible to every bereaved family throughout their grief journey so together can grow around grief.
Improving maternity safety and bereavement care across the UK
The money you contribute helps to maintain and expand the training, tools and support that we give to healthcare professionals to ensure they provide excellent bereavement care to families at their toughest moments.
We work towards ensuring that every parent whose baby has died has access to a bereavement suite, whenever they live in the UK. The money you raise supports opening new bereavement suites, and improving existing ones, across the country.
Help save babies' lives and give families a different story to tell
Research is a crucial part of our work to understand why babies die and find new ways to prevent deaths. Your support will help to save babies' lives by answering life-saving questions and putting the findings to work.
