I'm taking part in Sands Champions for Baby Loss Awareness Week

We are proud to be joining organisations across the UK in supporting Sands during Baby Loss Awareness Week. By taking part in Sands Champions, we're standing together to raise the voices of parents and families, create safe spaces for conversation, and show support for colleagues, clients, and the wider baby loss community.

Sands is dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by the loss of a baby receives the care, understanding and support they deserve. They campaign for change, provide specialist training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support vital research so that fewer babies die and fewer families experience this devastating loss.Your donation, whatever the amount, makes a meaningful difference.

  • £10 could provide a Bereavement Support Pack, with information and guidance for faimilies during the most difficult time.
  • £25 could provide a memory or Muslim care box, giving bereaved parents a treasured place to keep the precious moments they have with their baby.

  • £40 could fund a one hour Helpline call, providing a parent with someone to turn to when they need it most.

  • £100 could fund a two hour online support group, connecting families with Sands Bereavement Support Officers and others who truly understand.

  • £500 could provide a half-day of specialist face-to-face training for midwives, nurses and doctors, to further their knowledge and skills in safer maternity care.Thank you for supporting my fundraising and helping Sands be there for every family who needs them.

Walking in memory, stepping forward together.

Tuesday 6th Oct

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, Partners from the JL Working Parents Network’s Pregnancy and Child Loss Support Community are coming together across two memorial walks to honour and remember the babies who are forever in our hearts:

 Friday 9th October: The Odney Club to Boulter’s Lock

 Wednesday 14th October: 1 Drummond Gate (1DG) to Oxford Street

These walks offer our community a shared space for remembrance, reflection, and peer solidarity. Every step we take across Berkshire and London symbolises the enduring love, memory, and grief carried by bereaved parents and families across our Partnership.

We are walking to raise vital funds for Sands, the pregnancy and baby loss charity. Your generosity directly powers their work:

 Supporting bereaved families: Providing compassionate, free support whenever and however people need it.

 Improving bereavement care: Working directly with NHS trusts and healthcare staff to ensure consistent, dignified care.

 Saving babies' lives: Funding pioneering research to identify causes and prevent future loss.

No one should have to navigate the heartbreak of baby loss alone. Every contribution, whether large or small, makes a meaningful difference to grieving families.

Thank you so much for your generosity, encouragement, and support.
