As we think about the build up to Christmas and the start of another new year, the support available over what can be a really difficult time for bereaved families is more important than ever.
The theme of our annual Lights of Love event is centred around the beauty of snowflakes, which are unique and whilst they only stay a while have a real impact on our lives and how we view the world. It’s also a way of thinking about our bereavement journeys and how they are like the seasons, sometimes wintry and very tough, sometimes buds of hope can be seen as we emerge into a new, easier phase.
Leave a dedication in memory of a precious baby or loved one missing on our virtual Lights of Love tree.

- Support anyone affected by the death of a baby for as long as they need
- Work in partnership with healthcare professionals, NHS and governments, to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care

Baby loss is experienced by many but spoken about by few. Sands is determined to break the silence surrounding baby loss, to reduce the numbers of babies dying and to reduce the isolation felt by families when the very worst does happen.
