This Winter at Sands we’re coming together to thank and celebrate the parents who support our work all year round.
Christmas and the festive period are known as a time for giving. And here at Sands, parents give us a most valuable gift. They share with us the story of their baby and their experience of loss.
They tell us, so we can make sure their voices are at the heart of research and recommendations for change. Their stories have improved maternity safety, secured more funding for research and challenged inequalities.
Together we’re creating a future so more families have a different story to tell. And that’s why this Christmas we’re thanking those parents. Please donate, and support Sands’ vital work to save babies’ lives.
