Thank you from Sands 2022

With your support in 2022 we have raised an amazing £238.00 for Sands our partnered charity of choice. Sands is a UK charity that works across the country to support anyone affected by the death of a baby; improve the care bereaved parents receive from health care and other professionals; and reduce the number of babies who do die by funding research and working closely with other organisations to create a world where fewer babies die. Sands was founded by bereaved parents in 1978 who found that there was no access to support following the deaths of their babies. Since then Sands has grown, but parents who have experienced baby death are still at the core of everything they do. Sands are made up of staff and volunteers. The Sands Helpline works together with local volunteer Groups and befrienders to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby has access to compassionate, experienced support. Thanks to the hard work of their supporters, they are also able to fund research to help answer the questions that surround stillbirth and neonatal death. They fund some research directly and support other studies by helping to recruit participants or acting as co-applicants on funding applications. Want to donate? You can do so here
