Together, with your help, we want to build new ways of volunteering with Sands.  

The time is right to set off together on this journey because over the past year Covid-19 has meant we all had to work differently and some of these changes – like offering more bereavement support online – have been beneficial.  

We want to make volunteering easier, more flexible, enjoyable, and fulfilling for anyone that wants to give their time to help make a difference, whether or not they are bereaved, whatever their experience and connection to baby loss may be, as family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. 

Many people want flexible opportunities that suit their personal circumstances, so they can take up short term activities when they are able to give time to them.

We want to support our incredible volunteers and groups around the UK to volunteer in ways which work for them and have the most impact in their region.

- Jen Coates, Director of Volunteering and Bereavement Support

Right now, we want to hear how you think we can make this happen.

Please share with us your experience and ideas through this short survey. 

Together we can raise more awareness, ensure better bereavement care and support and save babies’ lives. Thank you.
