Some of the services that we offer include a free national helpline and a bereavement support app for parents, families, carers and health 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.

“When our baby died our lives fell apart. I felt so alone and isolated and just didn’t know what to do or where to turn. In those very early days and weeks, Sands was invaluable and the reason I am still here today.” Mum

We are dedicated to providing emotional support and information right from the early hours after a baby’s death, through to the weeks, months and years ahead. Sands supports anyone affected by the death of a baby.

Our Bereavement Support Services for parents include our helpline, online community, Sands Groups and the Bereavement Support Book.
