Story

On the May Bank Holiday we're asking those looking for a one day challenge, an adrenalin rush or a chance to do something for them; to take a Leap of Love for Sands.

By taking on a tandem skydive for Sands on either 1st, 2nd or 3rd May 2021 all money raised will go towards our core aims. We help to support bereaved families and save babies lives. Because of our fundraisers, vital research can continue in helping to reduce the number of babies dying each day.

This is what donations mean to Sands:

£20 enables Sands to provide a memory box to parents so they can start making memories with their baby

£140 provides one full day of bereavement care training for healthcare professionals

£580 a day keeps our helpline open and free for every caller

£840 can sponsor an entire day of training for 20 midwives!

£1,500 is needed on average to run one local support group for a year
