Emma’s beautiful twin boys, Jacob and Leon, died in 2019. Sands’ compassion and support helped her family through their loss, and she continues to draw strength from the North East London Sands community. 

Emma has 20 years’ experience in the voluntary sector, including roles in partnerships, strategy and practice change, most recently as the Director of Change at the Youth Endowment Fund. She hopes to draw on this experience to help Sands continue to provide the care and support bereaved families need.
