Sands

Saving babies' lives. Supporting bereaved families. 

Currently, every day in the UK, 13 babies die shortly before, during or soon after birth. At least 1 in 6 of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Thousands of parents and families are experiencing the heartbreak of pregnancy and baby loss every year. 

Too often, we don’t understand why. 

That’s why we need to take action. Now. 

Together, we are Sands. 

Here to support everyone touched by pregnancy or baby loss. Always. 

We are the parents who remember every baby.  

The dedicated volunteers, befrienders and staff team offering support, compassion and understanding online and in communities. 

The researchers finding the answers. 

Healthcare professionals and campaigners working together to improve maternity safety and bereavement care.  

Friends, family and supporters who stand alongside us. 

Sands is the UK’s leading pregnancy and baby loss charity, connecting communities across all four nations through support and action.
