Thank you and welcome to the team.

Claire Wills, London Managing Partner for Fresh fields says ‘Freshfields’ people in London have chosen Sands as the focus for our fundraising efforts over the next financial year. Issues around pregnancy and baby loss impact anyone regardless of their background, ethnicity or postcode and we hope to explore how we can support in these areas as our partnership progresses. We want to help raise awareness of a subject that may be affecting our colleagues, friends and family.’
