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 is here to support you
We understand that grieving in these difficult times comes with additional changes and stresses. We know that if you are working within the NHS to support bereaved families, this will also be a very challenging time.
Sands is a safe space for you to grieve and to find support, whether you are a parent, sibling, grandparent, NHS professional or friend.
We know that everyone grieves differently and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Each person needs different types of support and this can change over time. Some people may be happy to talk, others might take comfort from quietly reading about others' experiences, while some may prefer to meet face-to-face and share their experiences.
Who is this aimed at?
All who have lost whether parent, sibling, grandparent, NHS professional or friend
