Sands the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity are divided into a nationwide network of local support groups run by bereaved parents to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby. This page is to raise funds specifically for Surrey Sands. We primarily support those who have lost babies at Epsom, St Helier, Mayday, Kingston, Royal Surrey, East Surrey and St Peters hospitals or live within Surrey and surrounding boarders.
The impact of babyloss is underestimated by anyone who has never endured it. For this reason our aim is to offer the empathic support that most bereaved parents find invaluable. Our General Fund provides our support services including one to one support via trained befrienders, helpline, support groups, newsletters, web site and events. We also run a Hospital Support Project Fund to provide homely hospital bereavement suites and our Precious Memories Project Fund provides items to help parents create memories during this precious time together as a family. Our Training Fund enables us to provide training to healthcare professionals likely to come into contact with parents at any point during the pregnancy or after their loss.
The work of the group is totally self funded and carried out by volunteers. Membership of Surrey Sands is free on a self referral basis. We are always grateful for donations which are used to fund our work and we thank you for considering our charity worthy of your donation.
If you wish to do you own fundraising challenge please call our Chairman Lorna on 0208 393 4783 to discuss a suitable project for you to raise funds towards, and to help you set up your own Just Giving page.
