BACKGROUND

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal charity, is a well established and widely respected national charity

that:



Supports anyone affected by the death of a baby



Works in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families

receive the best possible care



Promotes and funds research that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives

Over 30 years ago the devastating impact of the death of a baby on the mother and father was

neither widely understood nor acknowledged. For many parents it felt as if their baby had not

existed and did not matter. Sands was established in 1978 to change that perception.

Since that time Sands has supported many thousands of families whose babies have died, offering

emotional support, comfort and practical help. Working in partnership with health professionals and

service providers, Sands has played a lead role in transforming the culture and practice of perinatal

bereavement care in the UK.

Whilst the way in which parents and families are cared for and supported has substantially changed,

the tragic reality is that large numbers of families continue to be devastated by the death of a baby.

In the UK, in spite of medical advances, 17 babies are stillborn or die within the first 28 days of life

every day.

Perinatal bereavement support and working in collaboration with health professionals remains at

the core of everything that Sands does. But increasingly Sands is doing more to try to ensure that

there are fewer bereaved parents to support.
