Sands supports anyone who has been affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth. Bereavement support is at the core of everything we do. Some of the services that we offer include a free national helpline for parents, families, carers and healthcare professionals; a UK-wide network of support groups with trained befrienders; an online forum enabling bereaved families to connect with each other and a wide range of bereavement support resources available online and in print.

The Sands National Helpline provides a safe, confidential place for anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby. Whether your baby died long ago or recently, we are here for you.

"I found myself on the phone to a woman whose baby, like mine, had died. 'Tell me about your baby,’ she said and I poured my heart out to a perfect stranger with whom I felt an instant connection." - Mum
