Steps for Sands 2026

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

I am 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 families during the most difficult time.

• £25 could provide a Memory box 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.
