Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity

Who we are

The death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth is a devastating experience with lifelong consequences for the whole family. Sadly, each year thousands of families face such heartache, with 14 babies dying every single day. Although the UK’s stillbirth rate has fallen slightly in recent years, it remains unacceptably high.

We work to support bereaved families and improve the care they receive as well as fund vital research to prevent more families suffering the loss of their precious baby.

To do this, we rely on your generosity and your help is greatly appreciated.
