Sands Awareness Week (16 - 22 June) is here. A week when people right across the Sands community and beyond can take the time to find out more about Sands and the work that we do to save babies' lives and support bereaved families. 

If you are new to Sands, welcome, and if you already know Sands, thank you for your support. Together, we are Sands. 

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

This Sands Awareness Week we're celebrating our Sands community. And inviting more people to join us. So we can support anyone touched by pregnancy or baby loss. Always.

Everyone is welcome at Sands. We are the bereaved parents and families. The dedicated volunteers and staff members. The passionate campaigners and healthcare professionals. The supporters, friends and fundraisers at our side.
