Politicians can be key local advocates in raising awareness of baby loss. Why not email them to ask them to share the campaign video and messages on their website and social media using the template below:

Dear NAME

As your local constituent, I’m writing to ask you to support the #FindingTheWords campaign this June.  Every day in the UK, 15 babies die before, during or shortly after birth.  Sands – the stillbirth and neonatal death charity – is breaking the silence on baby loss. 

IF YOU WANT TO, YOU COULD ADD IN SOME LINES HERE TO TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARIAN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THIS ISSUE MATTERS TO YOU OR YOUR GROUP

Please support the campaign by tweeting about #FindingTheWords from 1 June and by sharing the campaign video which is on the Sands’ website https://www.sands.org.uk/get-involved/finding-words/get-involved-campaign so that more of your constituents find out about this important issue.

I would welcome a reply from you to hear if this campaign is something you can support.

Best wishes
