Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, was founded in 1978 by a small group of bereaved parents, and parents and families remain at the core of everything we do.

Sands operates throughout the UK and its purpose is:

- To support anyone affected by the death of a baby

- Work in partnership with healthcare professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care

- To promote improvements in practice and fund research to help reduce the number of babies dying

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