We are so sorry that you find yourself here, but we are very glad you’ve found us.
Pregnancy and baby loss affects all communities, though the experiences surrounding them may not always be the same. We recognise that the experiences of Black and South Asian parents are different however both communities have told us about very specific experiences of maternity care, as well as describing the taboo and isolation that can be associated with baby loss. We also know that both Black and South Asian parents are more likely to experience a loss.
We recognise the need for greater engagement and tailored support for Black and South Asian parents, family members and others. That is why we have created these dedicated safe, and confidential spaces for you, for as long as you need us and no matter how much time has passed since your loss.
Sands is here to support you and support is available in many different ways.
