We welcome anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby.

Most new parents are surprised at how informal our meetings are. Meetings provide a warm, friendly and supportive atmosphere. There is no pressure to talk about your experience or your baby. You do not have to stand up and introduce yourself. In fact you don't have to talk at all if you don't want to. We understand that it can be difficult to talk to other bereaved parents for the first time. If at the last minute you feel you can't come, please don't worry. We have all been in the same position and know how hard it can be to take these steps. We will try to support you in whatever way you find helpful.

Sheffield SANDS meetings will give you a chance to meet others who have experienced a similar loss. They are a place where you can just be yourself, feel how you want to feel and say what you want to say, without expectations or fear of being judged. We have all felt  angry, lonely, let down at times, and desperately sad. Sheffield SANDS members have often spoken of the sheer relief to finally  be with people who 'just understand'.

We meet on the last Wednesday evening of every month (see timetable below) in the room above the Bohemian Cafe on Chesterfield Road, Sheffield.                                              

If you would like a chat with someone before you attend a meeting call us on 07787 393598 or email us at sheffieldsands@hotmail.com

We also meet up informally between evening meetings.
