About Us
Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, was established by bereaved parents in 1978.
Sands supports anyone affected by the death of a baby; works in partnership with health professionals to improve the quality of care and services offered to bereaved families; and promotes and funds research and changes in practice that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives.
Sands is a national organisation, with over 100 regional support groups across the UK. Further information can be found at www.uk-sands.org.
