Welcome

Sheffield SANDS is the local group of the National SANDS Charity, the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society. Our aim is to offer support and friendship to all parents who have lost their baby, or babies at birth or shortly after. We hold monthly meetings and you are most welcome to join us whenever it feels right for you.

Who are we?

Sheffield SANDS is run by a group of parents who have all experienced the loss of a baby either during pregnancy or soon after birth. The exact details of our losses vary widely. However, our common experience - that of grieving for our children and trying to find way to live with our loss - helps us to support each other. We can also offer practical and emotional support for future pregnancies. Sheffield SANDS covers Sheffield, Rotherham and Chesterfield but please feel free to contact us if there isn't a local group in your area. We hold meetings on the last Wednesday of every month and you are most welcome to join us whenever it feels right for you.
