Paul and I picked this charity after hearing the heartbreaking story of a very good friend, who sadly lost her baby boy at birth. Since speaking to people, we have been saddened to learn how many people this has affected.

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, operates across the UK: supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby; working in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care; and promoting improvements in practice and funding research that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives.

We depend on the amazing energies of our supporters to raise the vital funds that we need to deliver the wide range of services that we offer. #TeamSands
