This winter, we thank all the parents who have shared their experiences and spoken up about pregnancy and baby loss.
We know this time of year can be particularly difficult as we miss those who aren’t here celebrating with us, but who will always be in our hearts.
You can join us and remember your baby or babies as part of our Winter Wishes Sky where dedications create a bright star for your baby. Not only does this enable you to remember your baby, but any donations we receive help us in our vital work to save babies’ lives through research, informed by and involving parents.
We’re creating a future so more families have a different story to tell. Please consider a donation today and support Sands’ vital work to save babies’ lives.

Sands is the UK’s leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity. For over 40 years Sands has been the informed voice of bereaved parents and families and provided accredited bereavement and mental health support.
Sands exists to:
- 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
- Promote improvements in practice and research to save babies' lives
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.
